Ahh sorry I think I misunderstood the question :(

I was thinking a program to reset a hardware watchdog timer..

As to answer the question - I am not aware of any facility for automatically 
restarting things (unless you can get init to do it via /etc/ttys somehow)

I don't think it would be too hard to create a shell wrapper script though 
(kind of annoying I admit)
