You could try the attached patch. It will cause services not to start if there 
is another instance running. After that, just put a line in crontab like this 
one:

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/ircservices >/dev/null 2>&1

If you have any problems when compiling, please send me a mail in private.

Since this is the second time i'm sending this piece of code to the list, I 
believe that Andrew doesn't like this aproach...
