Done.

I've added a cron-callable script in /root/cron - in order to interact
with the root enabled /etc/init.d/vmchecker script. It is quite similar
to the script in ~so/cron.

It's configuration is located in /etc/crontab, the global cron
configuration file. Every 10 minutes it check to see whether the queue
manager is running; if not it makes a copy of the log file and restarts
the manager.

This cron-based solution should also be looked upon as it makes certain
assumptions about the hard-coded scripts.
