I ended up writing something similar.  A command starts all the 
configured batch jobs.  I usually have 12 such jobs which are either 
running or constantly or resubmitted at regular intervals.  2 of these 
jobs periodically check if all the jobs are there and if not resubmit 
the missing ones.  (I need 2 since if the watchdog job dies, no other 
job could resurrect it.)
