If you're asking for example of how cron jobs work, I don't think
you're experienced enough to write scripts to monitor a daemon
robustly.

Please look into "monit" instead, if indeed your VPS environment seems
to kill off processes like nginx randomly. Personally, I've never seen
this happen, but I'm sure there are situations in which it can.
Solutions like monit are a band-aid, and not a universal panacea.
