I've got a system I'm in charge of that uses a standard init script. i.e. /etc/init.d/mydeamon start
The problem is the daemon can randomly crash and because it's a signed binary I can't just fix the problem and recompile. The thing MUST stay running. I was thinking about using a Nagios solution but that seems like overkill. Is there someway to check if the process is running with cron? I was thinking I could just do a restart once an hour, but it seems there should just be a way to check the pid to see if it's running instead of a full restart.
