#!/bin/sh
echo "Checking for mplayer..."
stat=`pgrep mplayer`
 if [ "$stat" = "" ]; then
                       shutdown -hP now
  fi

Love to save the above script as the watchdog.sh. Instead of going for a
infinite loop with sleep command,  I would add script along with watch as

$watch ./watchdog.sh
