[Zope] Python monitoring script for Zope?

Hello Zopistas, I am wondering if someone has already written a Python script that will monitor Zope and do a stop/start if Zope is not responding (we are experiencing a problem with a customer's site in that Zope stops responding to GET/POST requests, but the Zope processes are still running.) AndyM has written a similar Perl script for Windows-based Zope installations, but I can't seem to find anything on Zope.org that will run on UNIX. If no such script exists, then I'll author one and throw it up on my Member page. Thanks for any info provided, Will Dennis P-Wave, Inc.
