I am using monit ( http://mmonit.com/monit/ ) to monitor the nagios process
and restart it if it dies. To verify that it is running its checks properly
than you should be checking its log files.

Another option is to use a configuration management tool like cfengine and
ensure that a process is running from the policy host.
