In addition to this you could have Launchd monitor a software process...
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html

This facility was called watchdogd in Mac OS X 10.3 and earlier server  
OS.

Additional....
Lingon-GUI for creating/editing launchd configuration files

Also don't forget Server admin provides some data on use as well.
