[newbie] Restarting dead processes

[Kevin Old]

Hello all,

I have a quick question about monitoring processes.  I have a process
(adsl-connect) which should be running if the connection is live.  Most of
the time the connection is dropped by my ISP after about a week of online
time.  I'd like to write a shell script that can check and see if this
process is running and if not, restart it.

Here's a shell script that I've come up with, but can't get it to work:

#!/bin/sh

foreach DAEMON ( adsl-connect )
ps -e | fgrep "$DAEMON:t" | cut -c1-8 > /dev/null
        if($status > 0) then
        echo "Restarting $daemon"
            #code to restart daemon
        endif
end

Thanks,
Kevin
