Reminds me of the cron task I set up once, long time ago, on a bare metal server. It would kill and relaunch a web service every 4 hours. The service in question didn't require high availability (it was a mailing list processing/interface thing, if I remember correctly) but it had some memory leak which would eventually devour all the memory in the server, in about 2 days. This hack served its purpose well, until the service was eventually replaced by something else.
