Has anyone out there used something simple like cURL to monitor if JSS goes down, and to restart Tomcat automatically if it gets no response?

Using cURL as a way to monitor Tomcat / restart if needed

I'm using netstat on my Linux box to monitor port 8080 to see if Tomcat is up and running on my JSS. If it's not running, it compiles and sends an email, then restarts Tomcat.
I've got a post on what I did:
