Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Opinion on auto-restart of failed apps/services Post 302524276 by Neo on Sunday 22nd of May 2011 10:03:17 PM

Uptime is gold.

I am a strong advocate of always having a watchdog process in place to watch all critical services and restart them if they go down.

Debugging why processes fail is another topic and certainly should not be used as an excuse to shave uptime down.

NAME
redhat-config-services - Service Configuration Utility SYNTAX
redhat-config-services DESCRIPTION
This is a graphical tool for enabling and disabling services (including xinetd services). Functionality to start, stop, and restart ser- vices is also included. OPTIONS
None FILES
/usr/bin/redhat-config-services /usr/share/serviceconf/* EXAMPLES
To run this program simply type: redhat-config-services LIMITATIONS
This utility currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servicename> when enabling and disabling services. This means that it does not have the same default behaviour as ntsysv. SEE ALSO
chkconfig(8) ntsysv(8) BUGS
- Some services will not start or stop properly if started anywhere but the console (redhat-config-services will appear to hang in these instances). This is not a bug in redhat-config-services, but in the individual services. - Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they are running or not. Starting, stopping and restarting initscripts may give mixed results (ie. may fail if you are stopping a service that's already stopped, etc). This will be fixed; until then it's a bug. AUTHORS
