Sorry, this is of course utter bovine excrement :-/

You either need a tool that can supervise daemons and restart them if
they quit, or use a small modification of the idea above:

while true; do
    gpxlogger -i 30 -m 5 -f /home/pi/trip_log_$(date
+"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S").gpx /dev/ttyAMA0
done &

Note the ampersand that puts the whole while loop in the background so
you don't have to use gpxlogger's daemon mode.

Regards and sorry for the noise,
Beat
