Monitoring agents to avoid reinitialisation

I read in a previous post (comments by Hilary) about monitoring agents
closely to avoid reintialisations.
I'm sure we would all like to avoiding reinitialisations - some tips/reading
on how to effectively monitor the agents - what to do/look for etc - would
be a great help.
Thanks

I DTS or export the agents history and agents errors tables from my pull
subscriptions locally and then run queries against them to get a window into
my pull subscription agents activity.
Basically you want query the time column and compare this value against the
system time and see if the difference is greater than a day or whatever
interval you choose.
I cover this in great detail in my book.
