I have a simple script that I use on my system to monitor processes and
restart them if they stop, end or are not running for whatever reason.
Here is a sample line for the clamd process.
#Antivrus and security
# clamd
clam_status=`ps -A | grep clamd`
if [ "$clam_status" = "" ]; then
/sbin/service clamd restart 2>&1 | /bin/mail -s "clamd
restart" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
else
echo "clamd already running"
fi
Or you could use the monitor option in webmin.
