hi , this script was devloped by somebody whome I dont know way back
# cat run_ucid.sh
#!/bin/csh
# run_ucid.sh
#
# This is a simple shell script that will start an application in
# the background and restart the application if it stops. Upon
# termination an email message is sent and the app is restarted by
# default. To disable automatic restart, the script may be started
# with the '-x' command line argument. (Actually, any command line
# argument should have that effect.) Start the app with the nohup
# command allow it to run after logging out.
#
# Instructions:
# 1. Set the variables in the next section for your environment.
# 2. Ensure that the script is executable by all (chmod 755 scriptname).
# 3. Ensure that the script is installed on a host with a mail server.
# 4. Syntax: nohup run_ucid.sh -x & (The -x is optional)
