My "Bread and Butter" Process Keep Alive Perl Script....
For the newbies, I should have posted this years ago....

Here is the standard (tiny) "bread and butter" perl script (on Linux) I use in my crontab files to insure key processes are alive ( just in case ! ) like httpd, named, sshd, etc.

The example below if for named......

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

open(PS,"/bin/ps x|") || die "Can't Open PS";
while(<PS>) {
if (/usr\/sbin\/named/) { close PS; exit;}
}
close PS;
system("/usr/sbin/named");

One of my biggest "server fears" is that named will die for some strange reason, so I feel safe knowing that named is always running with the script above.

New Linux/UNIX users might find it useful.

NAME

       Color::Library::Dictionary::Tango - (Tango) The Tango color palette

DESCRIPTION

       The Tango icon theme's goal is to make applications not seem alien on any desktop. A user running a multiplatform application should not
       have the impression that the look is unpolished and inconsistent with what he or she is used to. While this isn't about merging styles of
       all desktop systems, we do aim to not be drastically different on each platform.

       The Tango color palette consists of 27 RGB colors.
