Perhaps.
You can easily check whether it's running by using a cron script:
Have it check whether the PID value in the ~/.xastir/xastir.pid file
exists in a current process listing.
Starting it up might be a bit tricky as you need the correct
permissions to the X11 server plus the correct environment variables
set up for that user. I haven't tried to do this myself.
