Need to Restart Service with Password
Hi All,

Requirement : I need to check for some services in my environment and restart the service if its not running.

I have written script to check the script if its running or not. While if its not running i need to restart it using ./start command. But it will ask for password prompt and i need to enter if that action to complete.

It looks like this

Code:
/x/web/STAGE2SC5895/amqriskmerchantvettingd> ./shutdown.sh ;./start.sh

Shutting down amqriskmerchantvettingd. [Tue Jun 14 16:18:47 PDT 2011]

PATH is /sbin:/usr/sbin:/x/opt/pp/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /x/opt/pp/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

Hi,
Is it necessary to write a script because commands like following will easily give you the desired output
Code:
 service --status-all | grep service name

.

Also do you want a script which automatically supplies password when asked for?

Thanks Mayur for your response.

Actually I newbie to shell. and when i tried your code i am getting permission error.

Code:
stage2sc5895 143 /x/web/STAGE2SC5895/merchantvettingserv> service --status-all | grep merchantvettingserv
/etc/init.d/ip6tables: line 45: /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config: Permission denied
/etc/init.d/iptables: line 45: /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config: Permission denied
grep: /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: Permission denied
/etc/init.d/functions: line 141: /var/run/syslogd.pid: Permission denied
/etc/init.d/functions: line 141: /var/run/klogd.pid: Permission denied


If you give a sample code it will great help. even for password.

Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi,
I haven't come with the script yet but to just give you a simple solution try this
Code:
 ps aux | grep service name

Also last command didn't work because you must running as normal user but not root so don't worry. Will let you ASAP about script.

Thanks Mayur,

I already written script like this to check the service

read component
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep -w $component > /dev/null
then
echo "$component is Running"
else
echo "$component is NOT Running or NOT a Valid Component"
fi

i need a restart script in else part to restart the service.

Thanks,
Pradeep
