Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to restart apache when running out of memory Post 302722541 by alister on Saturday 27th of October 2012 12:47:46 PM

A cronjob can read the pid file, invoke ps, and then run the apache restart script if necessary. Alternatively, the cronjob can simply restart the webserver on a fixed interval.

More importantly, if your web server is consuming memory unboundedly, it is either misconfigured or buggy. If you don't know why it's happening, you should.

NAME
pidfilehack - work around daemons that always fork SYNOPSIS
pidfilehack servicename pidfile command [parameters] DESCRIPTION
pidfilehack is used to work around daemons that insist on forking into the background, but that do write a correct pid file. pidfilehack forks the actual service, then waits for the pidfile to be written. Once it can read the pid from the pidfile it will tell minit the real pid and quit. USAGE
usually pidfilehack is symlinked as run command of a service. servicename the name of the service pidfilehack is installed for. pidfile the filename to read the pid from command the real command to start parameters additional parameters for the command A typical use of this command will look like this: /etc/minit/apache /etc/minit/apache/params apache /var/run/apache.pid apachectl start /etc/minit/apache/run -> /sbin/pidfilehack AUTHOR
minit was written by Felix von Leitner and can be downloaded from his page at http://www.fefe.de/minit/ This manpage was written by Erich Schubert <erich@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. SEE ALSO
