I am running a status script written in Perl (*status.pl*) and want to have

How can I check through CRON that "status.pl" is running and if NO, then
start the script execution again?


Run monit.

http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/monit/

Here's an example config for making sure sshd is running:

$ cat /etc/monit.d/sshd
check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
start program "/etc/init.d/sshd start"
stop program "/etc/init.d/sshd stop"
if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
