last second error/exception handling

[smugindividual]

In the event of an error or exception in my background process, i'd like to be able to restart the process and send an email about the error. Which rout should I take?

should i try solving with just catch{}
should i use a ksh wrapper and use the trap command
or are there other alternatives?

If anyone has any suggestion or knows of any articles dealing with last second error/exception handling in tcl/tk i would greatly appreciate it.

I think using Expect is another alternative. That's pretty much what it's for. I used Expect long ago to monitor a system and page me if it got in trouble.
