The attached patch extends /etc/init.d/apache2 by an option/function "check" which sends HTTP HEAD requests to all listening ip+port sockets to see if apache is still alive.

It should be considered kind of proof-of-concept.
It depends on lsof, grep, cut, sort, uniq, head, nc and openssl.

There are many software packages out there that do checking of this type, it's not really appropriate for an init script.
