I just add the Sympa processes to the snmpd.conf file and monitor using SNMP. 
 The following entries cover the Sympa processes (and mail server) nicely:

proc sympa.pl
proc archived.pl
proc bounced.pl
proc task_manager.pl
proc wwsympa.fcgi
proc exim

Once those are added in and the snmpd process has been reinitialized, you can 
query the status using an SNMP request:

If the processes aren't running, the prErrorFlag will be set and the prCount 
for the process will be 0.
