I disagree - I think we had this discussion before.  A user can review the
log-file if he/she wishes, but programmatically parsing the log-file is
not really sensible, unless we are able to guarantee the text, content and
meaning of messages will not change beyond a rigid specification.
One way to tackle this might be to add ftp-style codes to error messages,
but it still doesn't solve the issue of needing to identify when something
has *stopped* working  (if it's stopped working unexpectedly it won't be
able to log a message saying "I've stopped working unexpectedly" ...)

Probing FNP and fproxy ports is the obvious solution.
