what do you mean when you say 'verify any proccess'??

I suppose in your script you need to include the following commands:
<pre>

ps -ef |grep whatever
grep whatever
mail or any other mailer // for notify youe email.

</pre>

tks Guest100...

when i say "verify process" i talk about verify what process is running, example, i need my server send a notify when the process is down.

understand?

Code:

WATCH=`ps -ef|grep whatever|wc -l`

if [[ $WATCH -ne 0 ]]; then
exit 0
else
echo "Process is not running"|mailx -s"SUBJECT HERE" user@blah.com

ps -ef | grep 'a process' | grep -v grep

Remember! When you ps -ef and pipe to grep, you must filter out the grep with the -v flag.

If ping not response, i'll notify by e-mail. If the ping response, nothing e-mail is sent.
