That would be in an ideal world. Daemons have resource leaks and will be
killed when reach the resource limit (with process supervision ulimit
becomes very usefull). They may crash on some unexpected event. That may
be after months of uninterrupted work. It is usually better if they come
back again if possible, then if they are down until the administrator
manually start them again.
