It's a sad fact of life, but processes die. I know, it's horrible. You start them, send them out into process space, and hope for the best. Yet sometimes, despite your best coding, they core dump, seg fault, or some other calamity befalls them. Unlike our messy biological world so cruelly ruled by entropy, in the digital world processes can be given another chance. They can be restarted. A greater destiny awaits. And hopefully this time the random lottery of unforeseen killing factors will be avoided and a long productive life will be had by all.
