Don,
  Here's the script I use to keep injoy up.  basically it's a script which 
periodicaly "pings" a known address, like your ISP, and if the ping is bad, 
it assumes that injoy isnt operating and "kills" the process and restarts 
injoy.
Works great.

call RxFuncAdd 'SysloadFuncs','RexxUtil','Sysloadfuncs'
call sysloadfuncs
c:
'cd\injoy'
signal start
top:
'start "injoy" /c /min in-joy.exe'
test:
call syssleep 600
start:
address cmd "ping your.isp 54 1"
if rc = 0 then signal test
address cmd "killjoy.exe"
signal top
