I tried that once, but then discovered that if your Pg instance is in  
recovery mode (ie, after a crash or other unclean shutdown) your slon  
won't start up right.  What I do is run under daemontools, which will  
keep trying to run slon until it succeeds or is told to stop.

I have a script I distribute with the FreeBSD port to create the  
daemontools environment... I s'pose I should contrib that now that  
I've been reminded...
