The reason I suggested the above check is that it appears to parse content
out of a web page. This could be configured to look for a text string that
only appears when BackupPC is running.

Monit is capable of just doing a simple test to see if a webserver is
listening or even if just a TCP port is listening, but this test is more
involved than those.
