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
