Hey Hans,
Go check out a program written by Evan Borgstrom, it is a program written
in perl that will check to see if a program is up, and email you the
status.. It runs as a cron job. Also you can add additional services quite
easily.

the name of the program is safetynet. Quite a nifty little piece-o-work..
