The admin server included with the current Red Hat DS is a stripped-down 
copy of the Netscape Enterprise Server, a standalone web server. The web 
server includes its own watchdog daemon, uxwdog. So yes, uxwdog watches 
ns-httpd and not ns-slapd.

I don't know about a watchdog for ns-slapd, I'll leave that up to the 
more learned LDAP gurus.
