OS X Server (not client, nor darwin) has a watchdog process that
tickles the PMU to reboot the machine when the process is no longer
running.  It is possible for someone to implement something similar
for Darwin.
However, we have found many, many instances where the watchdog process
can run, but nothing useful can be done on the machine.  In these
cases the watchdog doesn't help.
