It's a good approach in that it checks not only whether the daemon is
listening, but also whether it's actually working.  The latter
question is not a trivial one -- if something is wrong, you want to
know it sooner rather than later.   The watchdog also logs in a way
designed to be convenient for Nagios.  Chris can provide more
details.
