I take your approach that udev should not need to be supervised. If it
crashes, I have this line in my crontab:
" */5 * * * * for svc in $(rc-status --crashed); do rc-service $svc -- --nodeps restart; done"

On my system, I have atd, crond, acpid, klogd and svlogd as supervised
processes. I plan to move from syslogd to rsyslogd, so, it might
change a little.

Thanks
Joe
