Is there a service for Unix systems that will allow ordinary users to supply
programs to be respawned.

Just like cron allows users to schedule some programs to run at some times,
but this service would start the program immediately and restart the
program if it dies.

Similar to what init does for programs configured in inittab as ":respawn:",
but this service would allow the same thing for ordinary users too.

Of course the program shoud work with user privileges.
