I have a process that has been crashing every few days, but needs to be running 24\/7 to be effective. Until I find the time to seek out the cause, I need the process to be restarted.<\/p>\n

This short SH script uses PS to check that the process is running, and if not, runs the given init-script to restart the service.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/p>\n

checkprocess.sh [process] [init-script]<\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

checkprocess.sh myprocess \/etc\/init.d\/myprocess<\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

checkprocess.sh writes a log at \/var\/log\/checkprocess.log, and sends an alert mail to root should the process require restarting.<\/p>\n

Put the checkprocess.sh command into crontab to check regular for the crashed process. For debian the crontab entry would look similar to:
\n*\/1 * * * * root \/usr\/local\/bin\/checkprocess.sh mythbackend \/etc\/init.d\/myth-backend<\/code><\/p>\n
