Bash shell script to check if script itself is running
hi guys
we've had nagios spewing false alarm (for the umpteenth time) and finally the customer had enough so they're starting to question nagios. we had the check interval increased from 5 minutes to 2 minutes, but that's just temporary solution. I'm thinking of implementing a script on the affected client servers that monitors the processes, and if its not running it will use Logger to produce a string of sentence that I can easily pick up with nagios monitoring. all i have to do then is just add the "key words" into nagios check configuration which already monitors /var/log/messages
So the script that looks for process to check if its running or not is as such:
so how do i monitor to see if the script itself is running? I tried with ps -ef but you know ps is still going to show me two lines (one with ps, the other if script is running) so its not really a good way to check, isnt it?
when i put the job in the background with nohup and grep with ps aux I get nothing
I want to write a unix shell script that will check if a process (say debu) is running in the server or not. If no , then send a mail to the corresponding person to start the process??? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am a unix newbie. I need to write a script to check wheteher another script is still running. If it is, then sleep for 30m and then check again if the script is running. If the script has stopped running then, I need to come out of the loop.

games_srv_selinux(8) SELinux Policy games_srv games_srv_selinux(8)NAME
games_srv_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the games_srv processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the games_srv processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The games_srv processes execute with the games_srv_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
command with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep games_srv_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The games_srv_t SELinux type can be entered via the games_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the games_srv_t domain are the following:
/usr/games/.*, /usr/lib/games(/.*)?, /usr/bin/civclient.*, /usr/bin/civserver.*, /usr/bin/sol, /usr/bin/kolf, /usr/bin/kpat, /usr/bin/micq,
/usr/bin/gnect, /usr/bin/gtali, /usr/bin/iagno, /usr/bin/ksame, /usr/bin/ktron, /usr/bin/kwin4, /usr/bin/lskat, /usr/bin/gataxx,

PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux games_srv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
games_srv processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for games_srv:
games_srv_t
Note: semanage permissive -a games_srv_t can be used to make the process type games_srv_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to per-
missive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. games_srv policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run games_srv with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
default.
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P global_ssp 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type games_srv_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
games_data_t
/var/games(/.*)?
/var/lib/games(/.*)?
games_srv_var_run_t
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
