I've a directory called /home/mandar/scripts/daily in which i have 25 python scripts which has to be run at startup.
For this i want to write one shell script. This script should start all the python scripts on boot up and after than every minute monitor if all are running. If any python scripts crashes or is hung your script should restart it.
can anybody help me with this script..
THANK YOU

I definitely recommend daemontools for that. It's part of a full qmail installation. Look for one of the several qmail installation recipes available everywhere (Qmail Rocks is a good one) and follow the instructions, just as much as daemontools is involved. Or rather just follow the instructions on its home page, it should be easier.

Daemontools is the component that makes sure qmail is always running. I use it for qmail and a couple other unrelated services. You don't need to install qmail for what you want, just daemontools.
