I had the same occasional problem and created a "nanny" shell script to
monitor.  I run it every 10 minutes.  This is not foolproof but it works for
me.  I'm sure someone can make something better.  :)  
#!/bin/bash

/sbin/service sqlgrey status > /tmp/sqlgreystat.txt

sqlgreystat=`awk '{print $5}' /tmp/sqlgreystat.txt`
case "$sqlgreystat" in
   running...)
        exit 0
        ;;
   *)
        /sbin/service sqlgrey restart
        exit 0
        ;;
