Here is a little shell script that I run every 2 minutes... Better than sitting and watching! ###Start PT=/usr/local/gk_monitor TST=`telnet localhost 7000 << EOF q EOF` if echo $TST | grep -c Escape > 0 then echo "`date`:GOOD" > /tmp/gk_test.log else /etc/init.d/gk.initd restart echo "`date`:RESET GATEKEEPER" >> $PT/logfile fi ###end PT is the directory where the scriptis running... And of course if you have a different place to restart your gatekeeper, you'll have to change that as well... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
