I know how to monitor the service availablity on port 22. I'm wondering if anyone has actually made a script that connects, logs in, writes a file (say with scp) and only then returns a green status. We got burned with an ssh keys problem so I have to deploy something like this. Take a look at expect. You can simulate all kind of interactive command line stuff. I use this to remote connect with ssh / telnet and to transfer files with scp.
