One idea I had: what if you only use the cron task as a trigger source but 
execute the restart inside the user session?

You would have one script that is started as part of the session, e.g. through 
the autostart facility.

It would have a loop that blocks on two points: first on whatever cron does to 
trigger stop and second on whatevr cron dies to trigger start.

I assume suitable blocking wait could be done with inotifywait, e.g. waiting 
for a file to be created and then either waiting for another file or waiting 
for the removal.

The cronjob would create/delete those "trigger indicator" files.

Or maybe there is something like cron that runs as part of a user session?

Cheers,
Kevin
