Checking whether the ECX inbound Agent Listener and ECX Transaction Agent Listener are up from the b

Is there any way of checking whether the ECX inbound Agent Listener and ECX Transaction Agent Listener are up from the back end - either from UNIX or the database?

We have to run some daily checks, and at the moment, I'm having to log onto the application to check they're both up, but that takes time.

We already have some scripts which are run via cron, so I was hoping that I could add a further check into here and append the output onto the same log file, so the morning checks don't take any longer, but I've not been able to find out a way of doing this.
