Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
We do something similar, but not through cron (only our masters
start through cron).<br>
<br>
We have a builder (actually a couple for different sets of workers)
that cycles through our workers and uses ssh to attempt to start
them. If the worker is already running, we get back the usual
warning about a twistd server already running.<br>
<br>
Having a dictionary of workers and their directories also lets us do
things like prepend the worker name to various builders easily. I
don't think we have a case where a particular build would build on
multiple workers -- we treat that as separate.<br>
<br>
Because this process also establishes a consistent environment, we
also NEVER start workers manually. We always let the builder do it.
If one needs restarting, we kill it and let the builder start it
next time around.<br>

My worker keeps getting sigkilled, and it's unclear why, so I'd
like to create a cron job to check to see if it's running, and
if it's stopped, to restart buildbot. However, buildbot-worker
doesn't have a `status<br>
