I see no disadvantage, just wanted to show possible alternatives. If your script does not come back after starting /usr/local/sbin/SiteMonitor.sh &
, you might try to add a nohup in front of it. To know if it is running or not, you will maybe want to have a separate mechanism to check, depending if you want to check it continously or only after that initial launch.
For only initial checking after the start, you could grep for a process and check it's $?, or rely on a lock/pid file (or both) you might have placed.

       start [SERVICE]		- start a service, or all configured services
       stop [SERVICE]		- stop a service, or all configured services
       kill [SERVICE]		- brutal stop, interrupts connections
