Didn't seem to work. Restarted the daemon regardless of memory usage. Didn't see any output as to why.

Here's what I put in shell script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

#  Restart WHD if memory usage hits 80% or higher
#  

if [ `ps aux | grep java | sort -r -k4 | head -1 | awk '{print $4}'` > 80 ];then
/usr/local/webhelpdesk/whd restart
fi
exit 0
