If you are finding os x stable, and not on windows, that wouldn't be the norm. Just browse the list.

However, in helping many customers, Witango instability, ESPECIALLY with v5, usually is tied to the method of database connectivity. Your database, the odbc/jdbc driver, things of that nature.

But if you don't have a problem, don't fix what ain't broke.

Also, load has a lot to do with it.

I have used this for a year and a half and no problem. I also have another alarm system also but have never had to use it for this. I have never seen the witango process still there but not running on Mac OS X. I have only
seen that on windows which I cant seem to get a stable box at all.

Because many times, with some types of problems, most of the time,
when witango stops working, the process still exists.

I have sentrys that check 2 things, one, just a connect check to port
18155, the other, a tickle of a taf that returns a small piece of
data from a database.

If you just check if the process is running, your site could be down,
but you get NO alarms.

Why don't you write a shell script checking if the process exists.

Ps -aux | grep witangod

And if its there write to the system process exists..

If not have it start witango..

Then have a cron job run it every so often. I have my checking the
process
every minute to make sure its up.

Ill email you a copy just to your email address.

Subject: Witango-Talk: OS X witangod dies, way to auto-restart?

Hello,

Lately our WiTango 5.0 (for OS X) witangod has been dying on us.
I'm not
really sure how to even start trying to track down why... So I'm
looking
around for info on how to do that.

In the mean time, it would be nice if there was some way to have it
automatically restarted if it dies. Is there a way to set it up to
do that,
or is there some other tool for OS X that would do it for me?

As it stands - we start it manually from the command line. I seem
to recall
trying to get it to start automatically before and having trouble
with it,
but that was probably a year and half or two years ago and I
haven't really
touched it since.

The server has pretty much been sitting unused for that time until
about 2
months ago when our old Tango 3.x server became too problematic to
continue
using. ;)  So.. It's not like it's been running along fine and now is
dying.. It's only really dying now since we started acutally using
it. ;)

Any thoughts or suggestions, or whatever would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks!

 - Andrew
