In our system I wrote a little program that runs once every so many minutes
to
verify that the socket interface is active.
This program does the following:

1.  Scan the list of active trans in the system looking for CSKL
2.  If CSKL is not active, start it
3.  If CSKL is now active, perform a loopback test by creating a socket
connection to another program within the same region
4.  if either CSKL won't come active, or the loopback test failed,  write
hi-lighted messages to the console

If you're interested I could send you a copy so you could have an example of
how
to do this.
