Quasi fixed the issue with the miner quitting. The cgminer-monitor script has an error in it which writes out " [ACCEPTED] => X" in the file it's comparing against "[ACCEPTED] => X". These extra spaces caused the files to not match which causes the script to think that cgminer is still mining correctly. This script below removes all spaces from the files when they are created and makes the checking accurate. Replace the contents of /usr/bin/cgminer-monitor with the script below and the cron job should once again be able to properly reset cgminer when it stops mining.

#!/bin/sh
# This file is for cron job

C=`pidof cgminer | wc -w`
if [ "$C" != "1" ]; then
   /etc/init.d/cgminer stop
   /etc/init.d/cgminer start
   exit 0;
fi

A=`cat /tmp/cm.log | sed "s/ //g"`
B=`cgminer-api | grep "^ \[Accepted\]" | sed "s/ //g"`
echo $B > /tmp/cm.log
if [ "$A" == "$B" ]; then
   /etc/init.d/cgminer stop
   /etc/init.d/cgminer start
   exit 0;
fi

This is a good catch. I've changed mine like this as well and will see if this does the trick. Thanks!

this will restart cgminer each time the crom job runs

Not true. It's working as intended and has actually saved me twice today on one of my Avalons. First part of the script stops and starts cgminer if it cant detect a pid for it. The second part compares accepted shares from five minutes ago (if thats where your cron is scheduled) to current. If it's different, it's assumed that everything is working. If it's the same, it's assumed the miner has stalled but not quit. A restart is then initiated. The only difference between my script and the one already in there are the regex sed commands to remove spaces from the files it's echoing out and comparing so there is no false negative.
