Roberto, Assuming you are running on some kind of *nix, why not use cron to do this? You would create a crontab entry that looked like: */5 * * * * /path/to/restart/script (if there is only a global crontab file, the entry would look like */5 * * * * owhttpduser /path/to/restart/script)
then the script just does one restart and never needs to deal with all the issues of working when the system comes up and all the corner cases of rescheduling. Make sure to set execute permission on the script and check for the pid file or the listening tcp socket so it gracefully handles the case where owhttd is not running yet. jerry On 02/13/2012 09:13 AM, Roberto Spadim wrote: > hi guys, i´m having to restart my owhttpd each 5 minutes > can anyone help me with a bash script to do this job? > > i was thinking about runnning the bash as a background process > /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/owhttpd& > > inside owhttpd i have: > > #!/bin/sh > real_owhttpd=/opt/bin/owhttpd > while true; do > $real_owhttpd -d /dev/ttyUSB* -p 80& > sleep 300; > killall $real_owhttpd > done > > > does anyone know how to do this but without using killall? some arm > distros don´t have killall > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Try before you buy = See our experts in action! > The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers > is just $99.99!
