- WorkerFacade?
- WorkerGateway?
- WorkerWrapper?

8A watchdog is usually something that ensures that some resource is alive, it doesn't sound like exactly the thing described here.

I like the Proxy or Facade the most. But it involves the design patterns, which do not fit too well into this situation..?

A:
Manager, since it just controls workers
or Executive, if it has stock options!

A:
The name I would choose depends on the problem domain. For example MyProcessWatcher might be OK in some contexts, while ApacheProcessWatcher might be appropriate in others.

A:
I'd say WorkerAdapter, since it translates between your code and the external process.

A:
That the external process is a "worker" is detail of your implementation, so I'd be tempted to call the class "Process" and call the instance "Worker".
