The applet in question is a status display screen. I know it has crashed because a) the data displayed is out of date, and b) it doesn't respond to user input. Since it is a passive monitoring system, there is no log written. No error is displayed, it just stops updating properly. I guess what I was hoping for was that there might be some indication I could get from the process list or the like that I simply didn't know to look for, rather than an application-specific check. Something along the lines of how you can check for a "zombie" process by looking at the output of a ps. From the responses I have gotten so far, however, this wouldn't appear to be the case.
