Ideas to write watchdog

Hi all!

I'm writing some kind of watchdog, which will kill some process if it will notify that something is going wrong.
At the moment, I'm checking number of file handles and amount of memory allocated by process. Has anyone any idea what other parameters of process could be checked ?

Regards
Jarek
