[bf1942] restart script

[Jon Wolberg]

I've just been starting a screen, changing to the root directory and running 
the following:

while /bin/true; do date >> /tmp/crash.log ; ./start.sh; done

This way when it crashes, it at least writes the crash date/time to a file 
so I can go see how often it has gone down later.
