Quick and easy way to monitor Nagios itself?

[Jonathan Call]

Since I have a large Nagios distributed system the possibility of a
Nagios process going AWOL on one of my many servers is a serious
concern. Has anyone come up with a sure way to confirm (i.e. a cron job)
that Nagios is processing checks properly? 

For example, I had one OCP_daemon process die, as a result the Nagios
process hung for quite some time before it was discovered. Freshness
checking is not an option because many hosts are behind firewalls or on
private networks and so the central server has active checks disabled
globally.
