i could swear i read somewhere about world and zone being cron'd.. but search not finding it..
is there a way to set world and zones on cron so if they happen to die cron will restart them?

write a script that checks for processes being dead or gone, then relaunches it. Cron that script.
Just an example for non parameterized script relaunching 7997, should be something like
if ! ps ax | grep "zone . myip 7997 myip" |grep -v "grep" 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
echo "Zone on port 7997 is dead, restarting ..."
startzone7997.sh
fi
then add to your crontab :
*/3 * * * * relaunchscript.sh 2>&1 >> ~/restart.log
to test every 3 mins.
Pb is deciding what to restart, if world is down, or one or more zones. Restart, one, all, ... ? Up to you ;). This is just an idea, i'd be interested in some public script if you set up one.

Either that, or start them from init by setting up lines in your inittab:
(This is just a types in example, btw, your milage may vary)
# World
w1:b:respawn:/usr/local/bin/startworld
# Zones
z1:c:respawn:/usr/local/bin/startzone . 1.1.1.1 7001 1.1.1.1
z2:c:respawn:/usr/local/bin/startzone . 1.1.1.1 7002 1.1.1.1
z3:c:respawn:/usr/local/bin/startzone . 1.1.1.1 7003 1.1.1.1
z4:c:respawn:/usr/local/bin/startzone . 1.1.1.1 7004 1.1.1.1
startworld:
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/eqemu
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
./world
startzone:#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/eqemu
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
./zone $*
To start world:
/sbin/telinit b
To start zones:
/sbin/telinit c
Again, just typed in, but you get the idea.
