Slightly OT - checking if an app is running

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This is slightly off topic, but it may be that PHP can provide the solution.

I am running Filemaker Pro v5 Unlimited on an NT4 Server box. I have a
Filemaker plug-in that checks that the required databases are running every
5 minutes, and if not, launches them. That's fine as long as the Filemaker
application is running.

Recently, the application has been shutting down inexplicably and that
causes me quite a problem.

I'm looking for a tool, or script that can check to see if Filemaker is
running (or not) and then do whatever is necessary to get the system
started, if required. My fallback from that would be for a 'failure' to
trigger an email to alert me (I can do the email part).

I'm looking for a temporary solution as I will be porting the data from
NT/FMP/Lasso to Linux/MySQL/PHP in a few months.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers

George in Oxford
