I write a small program, which need to constantly be watched, and check its status, if it was dead, it should be restart automatically.
Please kindly refer me to URL which teach how to write this kind of script, or service.
Thanks.

Thanks for your advice.
I am looking for a non-GUI tool or at best, just a script, may be a script template.
Thanks again.

Here is a script that will look for a process called Test every second and if it is stopped for some reason will restart it. Something like this may work for you.

#!/bin/sh
while true;
do
PROCESS='ps -A | grep Test'
if [ "$PROCESS" = "" ]
then
./Test &
fi
sleep 1
done
