Here are a couple of configuration files for setting up funcd and certmaster to be monitored by Monit (http://mmonit.com/). In a nutshell, Monit will restart either process should it become non-responsive. This is especially useful in the case of funcd-- if you attempt to restart a remote minion it will not restart as expected (it will only shutdown and not come back). Typically, you will place each file into /etc/monit.d and then run "/etc/init.d/monit reload" --> paste the following into /etc/monit.d/funcd: # Funcd: (Fedora Unified Network Controller) # ------------------------ check process funcd with pidfile /var/run/funcd.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/funcd start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/funcd stop" if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 51234 type tcp then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout --> paste the following into /etc/monit.d/certmaster: check process certmaster with pidfile /var/run/certmaster.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/certmaster start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/certmaster stop" if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 51235 type tcp then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout Monit has many additional capabilities. You will of course need to configure Monit (typically /etc/monitrc or /etc/monit.conf) if you are just now installing Monit.
