Usually I have 5 tracker process shown running when I run pgrep
tracker:

chris@localhost:/var/log$ pgrep tracker
4709
4710
4717
4723
4725

Coming back a few hours later after that last restart I find when
checking the tracker processes I only have one:

 pgrep tracker
8424

Since I assume that the daemon has not restarted for some reason I run
tracker daemon which outputs:

tracker daemon
Store:
16 Apr 2017, 16:28:29:  ✓     Store                 - Idle 

Miners:
16 Apr 2017, 16:28:29:  ✗     Extractor             - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:28:29:  ✗     Userguides            - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:28:29:  ✗     Applications          - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:28:29:  ✗     File System           - Not running or is
a disabled plugin

And if trying to start the daemon:

tracker daemon start
Store:
16 Apr 2017, 16:34:06:  ✓     Store                 - Idle 

Miners:
16 Apr 2017, 16:34:06:  ✗     Extractor             - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:34:06:  ✗     Userguides            - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:34:06:  ✗     Applications          - Not running or is
a disabled plugin
16 Apr 2017, 16:34:06:  ✗     File System           - Not running or is
a disabled plugin

So, do I have to restart the system again to see if tracker will start?
