The thing is, there can be many application who reads /proc/user_beancounters, and thus if you will reset it you gonna have problems with those other apps.

Consider what happens if you will reset you sent/received packets/bytes statistics on the network interface -- programs which reads will be screwed up.

So the proper thing to watch for is not the current value of, say, failcnt, but whether it is increased or not. You can write a simple shell script to do just that.
