Have you found the time-missing, time-gone and time-lost options in the man page?

However, I have seen that different versions had bugs which made it
not work anyway (you did not tell me your versions) and this
functionality is probably poorly tested.

My experience is that it's the best to wrap ipropd-* processes with
some nanny scripts which either restart automatically them or pull an
alarm (depending on your paranoia level) if they go missing.
