First edit crontab by following command: #crontab -e and add following line in crontab: 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /root/send.sh copy this script in /root/send.sh #!/bin/sh # see if the service if running COUNT=`ps waux |grep -v grep|grep -c sendmail` # if the service if running quit if [ $COUNT != 0 ] then echo $COUNT " is o.k. exiting..." # if the service is not running... else echo "sendmail is down on server... Restarting...." # politely stop and start the service /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart # e-page someone so they will know there was a problem cat /root/problem.msg |mail -s "sendmail down on your system" ur_name@xxxxxxxxxxxxx fi On Saturday 07 February 2004 18:32, Muhammad Rizwan Khan wrote: > Hello list! > > How i can assure that sendmail is running on my system, and if any time it > fails it should restart automatically. > > If i add some bash script in crond, that it 'll check the status of > sendmail after every 5 minutes and 'll restart it, if its not running. > Is there can be any problem with this idea. > (any body have kind of script) -- Muhammad Rizwan Khan http://nixpanel.com MSN ID: nixpanel@xxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
