Yeah, we do have a watchdog for that, but it needs improvement. It's on
my list of things to improve near term.

Aside from the vacation message Apache also depends on CCEd for
generating the VirtualHost containers for the SSL enabled sites. Which
is done in real time when Apache starts. And it if restarts while CCEd
is down, Apache will fail to come up, too.
