i don't know if it's the best way but here are some options
check the status by:
1.sending out a simple connection request via an exe, bat or sql query
2.checking the active connections in task manager (not sure if there is a way to actively extract the info)
3.send out an email periodically from the sql server, if it reaches the recipient, service is online (I actually did this to check for replication status and make that it is online whenever the scheduled transfer is made)
Also, check this out: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sql+heartbeat
