That's too much of a Windows-like solution for me.  ;-)

That's my heavy S/W development box.

It it were me, I'd look for a solution that only restarted the serial ports, perhaps only if they were detected to be non-working.  Leave the rest of the system running.

Then again, there's a lot to be said for "If it works, don't muck with it"...
