Comment (by arma):

 Yes, I want this tool: we need it as a building block to debugging and
 nagios-style monitoring.

 I'd suggest one slight change to the original description by asn: step one
 is to make the tool that does the checking, and then step two, separately,
 would be to run the tool on some sort of schedule. By separating these,
 anybody who says "why isn't my onion service working" can grab the tool
 and find out. Heck, somebody might even set up a web page that runs it for
 people.
