I neglected one obvious detail, this will running on 32 bit CentOS 5.1.

 (probably just read in pid file) and it would be great if the
 recommended software had this ability as well but not completely
 necessary.  The process monitoring part is just me trying to think ahead
 but it definitely wouldn't be needed in the near future.
 
 Ideally, this should be light weight user land code that hopefully
 already comes easily with the distribution :)
 
 Any suggestions?  Thanks.

yum install heartbeat 

Very robust, very reliable, easy to configure, easy to use :-) We use it 
for almost every critical server for about 3 years without any problem.

I had originally considered heartbeat but just didn't know if version 2
was overkill.  It's a pretty capable package and I just didn't want to
get in over my head for this project.  Is version 2 still pretty simple
if you want it to be?

Well, exactly as you say... if you want it to be, it can be still pretty 
simple :) 

I don't know any software which could be simplier and still so reliable
for mission critical usage.
