You don't want to "listen" to Xitami; you want to "check up" on Xitami.
What I do with some servers I monitor is have a special test URL (eg, a
HTML page with some recognisable text on it), and then have a small perl
program (eg, using LWP) check that URL from time to time.  If it doesn't
get the "right" response, then it restarts Xitami (or whatever is being
monitored).
