> Determining the health of a task during its lifetime (during start up, while it is running, shutting down etc.) can be considered a more elaborate matter than only observing its process state.
> The task health might be determined by any combination of observable behavior; for example the process being listening to a certain range of ports, writing certain files or pipes, responding to messages, utilizing resources to or below certain thresholds etc.
> It could be a powerful extension to extend the interface for launching and running tasks by an optional HealthCommand message. This message could encode:
> 1) A command to be run at the slave to determine the health of the task. The return value of the command will tell if the task is healthy or unhealthy. 
> 2) An interval which to run the health command.
> In connection with this, it could make sense to introduce new healthy and unhealthy task states.
