Quickly determine running processes

Hi all,
Anyone have a good method of quickly determine if zimbra mta is up and running? I'd like to put a quick check in a fetchmail script to make sure everything is copacetic with zimbra before fetching remote emails.
The script runs every few minutes so parsing the output of zmcontrol is too slow.
Any ideas?
As always... THANKS!
jimbo

>telnet localhost 25

>telnet localhost 110
Of course, if you have another MTA, then the above methods won't quite work.
>ps auxww | grep postfix

>zmcontrol status mta
may also be helpful
