Most init scripts simply check if there's a matching daemon process to
the specified pid.

However, if there's something more you can do with NetworkManager to
assert that it's actually running, that's great.

Is this something that you can handle in a subsequent upload, or would
you rather wait until you have all of this functionality ready?
