Speculation here, but based on the context, I think the question is: Some daemon-izer solutions will monitor the daemon and e.g. restart it if it's unresponsive. How do you handle this slash how is this handled in the Common Lisp world?

As a last resort, if Lisp becomes totally unresponsive, you kill the process and restart, same as any other language. But it's pretty rare to lose the REPL, so usually you can fix any unexpected problems through that.
