I have attached a *nix script which will restart any process that it does
not find active when it is run. It will also send an email alert stating
what wasn't running and that it tried to restart it. I have mine set to run
via CRON every 5 min.
You may need to change paths according to your system. I have no idea if it
will port to a non-linux os such as BSD. The notable lines are the email
alert lines and the last lines, which specify the process to look for, and
what to execute if it is not found running.
For instance:
checkproc assp.pl "/etc/init.d/assp start"
Checks to see if a process called "assp.pl" is there. If it is not, it runs
my assp start script. As long as the account that cron runs processes under
can start ASSP, you'll be set.
Hope that helps.
