The normal way is to check that the service it is providing is really 
working, such as with check_smtp, check_http, check_dns, ...

Or if you really want to see if the daemon process is running you can use 
check_procs.

Hopefully this brief answer will give you some tools to search for. Try 
running them with --help.
