Here is a script that should work. It is sys V specific because of the ps
command. Change to 'ps -x' for BSD. Sorry about the riot act flotsam. Make
sure that a 'go bg' will work from a cron job on your system. You may have
to comment out some of the goofy stuff in the 'go' script. The paraniod may
wish to add more script checks depending on what you feel is important.
