Looking for administration tool to check if services are running
Hi!
We are having problems with our unix servers (SunOS 5.9) that services for some of our applications are continuously going down. (this is more due to the applications installed than the UNIX OS).

What I am looking for is some kind of administrative tool where I can set what service to scan if they are running or not. If they are not running the tool should then try to restart the services.

I am not a great unix coder, that is why I haven't dived into the endless possibilities of scripting this myself.

Any pointing in the right direction would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
E

You could put them into /etc/inittab to be started (and automatically restarted if not found with the respawn action) but without knowing what the applications are, this may or may not work. Plus, it may cause more problems (like the application one of my clients does - he put it into inittab and it just starts and dies continuously ).


Read the whole man page on inittab.
