Perfect use case for monit. http://mmonit.com/

Example Config

check process foo with pidfile "/var/run/foo"
start program = "/bin/foo -c foo.conf"
stop program = "/bin/kill -KILLcat /var/run/foo.pid"
if totalmem is greater than X.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart

The reason you want monit rather than a script is that it can email you, provide logs, and honestly a lot more, but I'll leave the research up to you.
