The reason I didn't use it here is because nagios is really suited to sit on a particular server and monitor many servers and services. Where as I only wanted to monitor one server and one service. This script can also sit on any any machine with Perl (most distro's have it installed by default) at the ease of uploading it to the server. Yeah, I’ve used nagios for some time it’s pretty good.

Maybe it is overkill and maybe it is difficult to set up. Worth a look if you have not discovered it yet, though. At work we use Nagios (nagios.org) for this kind of thing.
