Good! :-)

The "aggressive way" when having several processes is to have one (or
possibly several if it is a complicated system) process which supervises
the other(s). In this way you move all the error handling, if you need it
at all, away from the code implementing the logic.

You should then try to write the code in a way that the logic works fine
without the supervision (during normal input). The supervision is then
only an add-on to provide robustness.
