You should definitely do that. Not only for this case - daemontools (or 
similar like runit) are superior for nearly every server service on *ix 
OSes. Check out http://smarden.org/runit/runscripts.html and compare 
the scripts with typical System-V run scripts (not mentioning the 
supervision concept in general).

Why two FCGI process managers? To compensate FCGI downtimes? Did you 
find a way to tell lighttpd not to talk to an FCGI process that is 
down? I only get a 500 error in that case.
