CW hardware injection restarts past week

We restarted the psinject CW hardware injections on h1hwinj1 last Wed 11th to see how stable this system is now. All was well until yesterday (Thu) when it stopped running for no discernable reason. Here is a summary:

date time event
wed 11 May 14:11 PDT start running psinject
Tue 17 May 08:32 - 08:38 PDT stopped due to h1iscex restart, manually restarted
Wed 18 May 10:03 - 10:04 PDT Jim manually restarted process
Thr 19 May 14:20 PDT psinect stopped for no apparent reason

We were not running under monit control so that a restart would be easy to spot. Now we have seen a restart, we'll put psinject back under monit control. Remember that the monit script smoothly ramps up the injection to prevent jarring.

actually the psinject process was still running on h1hwinj1, but it was not actually exciting the test point H1:CAL-PINJX_CW_EXC. I started monit, and then used monit to stop the running process and perform a clean start.
