I thought of pinging localhost, but I'm not sure that's sure fire either.
Thoughts?

Is there any way you could try ping of localhost? I ask, because
Linux uses TCP/IP for internal communication. Doesn't work well at
all if the service does not run. Running ping to localhost would have
to use the same services as ping to another host. Just would not be
dealing with issues related to external network connections. Just a
WAG, however.
