You could create a new script in the user.scheduler.everyMinute table with the following:

bundle { //check that the Web server is running
 if not defined (system.temp.Frontier.serverStopped) {
 system.temp.Frontier.serverStopped = false};
 try { //check if the server is set to start on startup and if it's not running, start it
 if system.temp.Frontier.serverStopped != true {
 local (adrTable = @user.inetd.config.http);
 if not inetd.isDaemonRunning (adrTable) {
 inetd.startOne (adrTable)}}}
 else {
 tcp.sendmail ("name at mysite.com", tcp.dns.getMyDottedId () + string (tryerror))}}

Notes

1. Optional, you can configure Manila to email yourself if the Web server isn't responding.

2. The script checks for a value at system.temp.Frontier.serverStopped which allows you to set this to true if you want to do maintenance etc. and require the Web server not to be restarted.
