Starting at the top:  So, how to detect when Webdocs is unresponsive?
You could put a trigger on this file.  When the trigger is executed it 
could write to a data queue.  Another job could be monitoring the data 
queue.  If it's been x seconds since the last data queue entry alert the 
troops.

Parameter 5, wait time.
Otherwise, your intermittent job idea will be doing a LOT of I/O every 
certain interval just to look for gaps and still not be near as timely. 
That's more of a "yes the horse has left the paddock quite some time ago".
