Full Discussion: Inotifywait restart script prevents reboot when started
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Inotifywait restart script prevents reboot when started Post 303038350 by Peasant on Saturday 31st of August 2019 04:20:00 AM

Here is a quick bash mockup, using md5sum without inotify tools.
Where myapp.sh is being executed.

Kill is regular not dash 9, if you really need to use that signal, change it..
It will not check if myapp.sh was started by hand outside script tho.

Of course, additional error handling could be implemented..

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash

CONFDIR="/workdir/rst"
MYAPP="$CONFDIR/myapp.sh"
CSUM="$CONFDIR/config2.md5"
CONFFILE="$CONFDIR/config2.txt"
# Check interval in seconds
CHECKINT=5

cleanapp () {
  kill $CURPID
}

startapp () {

if [ -z $CURPID ]
then 
	$MYAPP & CURPID=$!
	md5sum $CONFFILE > $CSUM
else
	md5sum -c $CSUM
		if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
			kill $CURPID
			$MYAPP & CURPID=$!
			md5sum $CONFFILE > $CSUM
		fi
fi

}
	
trap "cleanapp" 0

while true ; do

	startapp
	sleep $CHECKINT
	# Check if MYAPP is on process list, if not clear CURPID so it can be started again
	ps -p $CURPID || CURPID="" 
done

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

gst-md5sum

gst-md5sum-0.8(1)						   User Commands						 gst-md5sum-0.8(1)

NAME

       gst-md5sum-0.8, gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

SYNOPSIS

       gst-md5sum-0.8 [--verbose] [gst-std-options] [partial-pipeline-description]

       gst-md5sum [--verbose] [gst-std-options] [partial-pipeline-description] [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-md5sum-0.8 generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

       In theory, both of the following commands should print out the same checksum:

       gst-md5sum-0.8 filesrc location=music.mp3

       md5sum music.mp3

       If  the	pipeline  contains  an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 queries it for the md5sum at the end of pipeline iteration. If the pipeline
       does not contain an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 automatically connects an md5sink to the right-hand side of the given pipeline.

       See gst-launch(1) or the GStreamer documentation for more information on how to create a partial-pipeline-description.

       gst-md5sum is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-md5sum-X.X. For  example,  if  both  gst-md5sum-0.7  and  gst-
       md5sum-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-md5sum runs gst-md5sum-0.8.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by gst-md5sum-0.8 and gst-md5sum:

       --verbose       Output verbose information. You can also use -v to specify this option.

       gst-std-options Standard options available for use with most GStreamer applications.  See gst-std-options(5) for more information.

       The following options are supported by gst-md5sum only:

       --gst-list-mm   List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.

       --gst-mm=string Force  major/minor  version.  This  option  enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
		       default version.

       --print	       Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       partial-pipelinePartialppipeline description.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name

       /usr/bin/gst-md5sum-0.8

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/gst-md5sum-0.8 Executable for GNOME help browser

       /usr/bin/gst-md5sum     Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-md5sum-X.X
