I adore that you used literate style documentation for your source, as someone who is also learning to love programming efficient tools in C I very much appreciate that. I question the need for yet-another-process-monitor, but I acknowledge that upstart, monit, etc are by and large overcomplicated and messy. They provide more features, of course, but they violate my interpretation of the unix philosophy. I'm sure many people on HN will condemn you for writing this but, I for one am very excited to try it. I had a similar idea of a daemon that would allow inter-process signaling for users to signal processes which shared their GID, to simplify web application deployment without relying on sudo privilege restrictions. You may have just inspired me to take your lead, and just do it - a few hundred lines of C, and smart documentation have a lot of value as learning, experience, proof-of-concept and a discussion point; and that in itself is reason enough for this to exist!
