To be honest in terms of database monitoring cron is usually the way to go. The advantage Is that then you don't need to monitor the monitoring program. As a DBA you need reliable data in terms of status etc... You could write an overcomplicated daemon which monitors its state but if cron is an option its much simpler and less can go wrong.

Now, how do I run it as a service/daemon? I want more flexibility than crontab which is based on time. Should I use sleep? Or is there any other alternative? Thanks in advance.
