I was experiencing a 'hanging' engine, after I stopped and restarted my controller. The engine still had its ports opened to the controller, but wasn't registered.

Would it be possible to
a) make the engine try to reconnect a couple of times after it finds out that the controller is gone ?
b) make the engine die, so it could be for example automatically restarted by a wrapper script ?

I'm using IPython-0.13-dev.
