There is an insoluble dilemma here. If you use a separate process to monitor your server, then that process must also be monitored. Eventually you have two processes watching each other, whatever else they may be doing. If you do *not* use a separate process, then your server can only report its state transitions if it is still able to do so. A crashed process cannot tell you that it has crashed; the most you can get is that it will begin failing to tell you that it has *not* crashed. To get complete coverage can become quite elaborate. To protect against hardware failure, you need two machines monitoring each other. To protect against network or utility power failure, you need two (or more) machines monitoring each other from different sites. At some point as this scales up, it may be more sensible to just hire somebody to watch screens and check things periodically. -- Mark H.
