Perhaps not... Instead of running ldd on each of the daemons, since they are in
memory and any library they are using must be "open", you could use lsof to
examine which libraries are currently mapped to memory. You could then check the
mtime of library in the same way that you would for ldd. That should catch
everything that is active.
