Anyone know of a way to auto-restart Mongrel on a crash, Windows  
environment ?

We’re getting a seg fault error, so until we figure this out is there  
a polling script or something to run to monitor and restart if it’s  
down?

Thanks

You’re not using ruby 1.8.6 p230 are you? I haven’t used ruby on  
windows, but in linux, this was a bad release. Mongrel segfaulted  
after the second request on one of my apps. If your ruby was updated  
a little earlier this year you may have picked up one of these bad  
versions.
