Unfortunately this is not nearly enough information to diagnose the issue.  What messages do you see in your logs?  When is your process re-started?  If it isn't re-started, how did it lose access to the socket it was already listening on?

This doesn't make sense.  By definition, processes on Linux have PIDs.

And this makes even less sense - how can you kill a PID if there is no PID?

I hope we can get to the bottom of this but we will definitely need more information.  As it is I have no idea what is happening, let alone why.
