I would like to setup a Cron job to check weather X process is running or not. if it is not running then start that X process with a log message....

Sure, just set the cron jobs just like Chumpy does in the cabal tg script or generate them online.

Also to find out if the process is running check it like this: ps -A | grep -q "ProcessName", check exit code of that command. If exit code is zero means that the process is still running. Then just start it by normally invoking it.

As for logging just echo a string to a file using append. echo "test" >>" $filename".

If you need more help let me know.
