Cron job for monitoring processes

I have to monitor several processes in my application .

i get the listing of these processes using the command ps -ax

i want to write a shell script that will monitor the processes and if a

process goes missing then it will send an email to my gmail account.

I want to run this script as a cron job that will start every 15min.

kindly provide me with the shell script and the directory in the server

where this shell script needs to be placed and the cron entry for running

this script every 15min. I need all this information as i am new to unix

and i have to implement this stuff on my server as soon as poosible.

Please any one help me!!!!!(my OS is Solaris 5.6)

killall5

KILLALL5(8)						Linux System Administrator's Manual					       KILLALL5(8)

NAME

       killall5 -- send a signal to all processes.

SYNOPSIS

       killall5 -signalnumber [-o omitpid[,omitpid..]]	[-o omitpid[,omitpid..]..]

DESCRIPTION

       killall5  is the SystemV killall command. It sends a signal to all processes except kernel threads and the processes in its own session, so
       it won't kill the shell that is running the script it was called from. Its primary (only) use is in the rc scripts found in the /etc/init.d
       directory.

OPTIONS

       -o omitpid
	      Tells killall5 to omit processes with that process id.

NOTES

       killall5 can also be invoked as pidof, which is simply a (symbolic) link to the killall5 program.

EXIT STATUS

       The  program  return  zero  if  it  killed  processes.  It return 2 if no process were killed, and 1 if it was unable to find any processes
       (/proc/ is missing).

SEE ALSO

       halt(8), reboot(8), pidof(8), killproc(8)
