I tried to watch /proc/$PID using inotify-tools and a few lines program that I wrote ad-hoc and it seems I can't monitor /proc correctly. I didn't receive IN_DELETE_SELF or any other message when the $PID process was killed. It seems I can't use inotify in this direct way to monitor processes status.
