Shell scripting is a mysterious art to mere mortals like you and
I.
I don't think I'd ever trust a shell script to run forever,
since I've written scripts that sometimes do what I expect and
sometimes behave differently with the *exact* same input, and
never been able to solve it.

Some things I'd try:
1) If it can't find ./start each time, put in the full path to
your start script.
Problem gone.
2) Maybe add another cron job that checks to see if your first
script is running, and starts it if not?  ps | grep should tell
you if it's running. I know, this is getting very hacky...
