At the moment the most reliable way to monitor the server for this
special case is via the query protocol, IMHO.

Like you said the output is not in realtime and the ut3-bin process is
running fine. But I've noticed that as soon as players are unable to
connect (due to the recvfrom error 111) the server does not respond to
server queries via the Gamespy Query Protocol v4.

Check out http://wiki.unrealadmin.org/UT3_query_protocol and write a
small script to monitor eg. for maxplayers. If its return string is
empty, you should restart the server. I'm doing this for a longer time
now and my servers are up _and_ running 98% since.

Cheers
