This port allows one to monitor other standalone services and
|
|
|
|
|
automatically restart them if they are accidentally and unwittingly
|
|
|
|
|
terminated, or crash either because of instability or a DoS attack. It
|
|
|
|
|
simplifies a corresponding task capable of being performed by cron(8) by
|
|
|
|
|
not requiring scripts to be run from a cron tab that in turn checks for
|
|
|
|
|
the *.pid files of services to determine whether they are running, but
|
|
|
|
|
instead uses procfs to determine if they are running or not. The
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file is simple and easily setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: version 0.2.0 and up have a slightly different configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
format and any previous configuration file from version 0.1.0 should
|
|
|
|
|
be updated accordingly.
