Is it possible to automatically restart crashed services in Linux?

Question

I am Using Ubuntu Server and would like to know if it's possible to automatically restart services that go unresponsive. I am operating a standard LAMP stack and occasionally vital services need to be restarted but I want to do it in a programmatic way.

To handle services that go into a crashed state, look at Munin and/or the Linux watchdog daemon.

Supervisord and along the same lines Mozilla Circus are also interesting plays.

You can try to use monit to do this.
