You are suggesting to run a cron job which would maybe run every 5 or 10 minutes to run the bash script which restarts the service? Would this be the most secure method of accomplishing such a task? Or is there a way to put a hook in the bash script which php could execute as a privledged user? Thanks for the insight, Jas
