N> How do I restart a daemon process on UNIX if it dies?

First, knowing why it died is a good thing. Especially when it's SNMP for the last couple of weeks. Most implementations have a vulnerability that the vendors have been pumping patches out for.

But to answer your question, when this happens to me, I like to go and see how it got started in the first place, so I can replicate any parameters that were missing. In System V based Unix implementations this happens in the /etc/rc?.d directories. Find the one that starts the daemon you want. On Solaris it's /etc/rc.3/S76snmpdx which can be run with either a start or a stop parameter. Of course you can look inside the rc start script and see exactly what commands it uses to start the daemon and do it yourself.
