Tnx Bob. I worry about these respawn things, as things can loop fast if
I break the installation.

I'll give it a try.

Somewhere (in the Spider docs, I think) I came across the following,
which goes into /etc/inittab (not a cron job, but it does the trick):

##Start DXSpider on bootup and respawn it should it crash
DX:23:respawn:/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl"
sysop >/dev/tty7
