Sounds reasonable to me, but then I haven't looked inside ajp13 at all either.

How do you see this working? It seems to me that this couldn't be done
entirely in Java, it would at least have to run the appropriate start script
to make sure classpaths are set, etc. So ajp13 or the watchdog would have
to run the start script if it found it couldn't talk to Tomcat. It would
also have
to worry about restarting it unecessarily - suppose you restart Tomcat
manually, how will the watchdog be prevented from thinking it was down
and starting a second process?
