How do I write a bash script to restart a process if it dies?

Question

I have a python script that\'ll be checking a queue and performing an action on each item:

# checkqueue.py
while True:
  check_queue()
  do_something()

Have a look at monit (http://mmonit.com/monit/). It handles start, stop and restart of your script and can do health checks plus restarts if necessary.

Or do a simple script:

while true
do
/your/script
sleep 1
done
