Sounds very hacktastical to count the entries as a way to know if the service is alive.
If I found someone doing this on one of my production database machines, I think I'd have to dig out the paintball gun and start chasing them around, especially if the person run around with the title of sysadmin. (I'd cut a slight bit of slack if they were a webdev.)
