automatic restart of bmx6 when it crashes / log only when crashes

We are having issues because sometimes bmx6 crashes The most common issue in bmx6 mesh networks is that a bmx6 crashed, and the solution we apply is to restart bmx6 daemon. I think two actions are required:

  1. Fix /etc/init.d/bmx6 to have a debug level of 0 (this way, and hopefully, we will know cleary when bmx6 crashed). By default/now is reporting too much. OK, debug level of 0 is like too much verbose. Probably we can find a grep expression to reduce it even more

  2. Start again automatically when it crashes

}

I can send a logread example privately (probably too much sensitive information)
