in reply to Re^3: Auto-restarting script if it dies
in thread Auto-restarting script if it dies
'typically' doesn't refer to the situation but to the script, which could be a c-program, a shell script or a perl-script.
It's left up to you what you want in it. You could put the deamon itself there or just a script that starts the daemon, or a script that starts a script that starts the daemon ;-)
In most cases you've got the daemon executable somewhere else, so typically aka usually you put a script there.
