bash script to check and report the status of selected processes

07 November, 2007 02:35

This is a version of a cron executed bash script I wrote to check and report the status of selected processes, and then send an e-mail of the results:

#!/bin/sh

cmdtest='smtpd gdm cupsd any-process-name'

echo "checking status of critical services... $cmdtest"

echo " "

for name in $cmdtest ; do
statq=$(/bin/ps -C $name |/bin/grep -n 0)
if [ -z "$statq" ]
then
echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
echo "$name not running!"
echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
else
echo "$(/bin/ps -C $name)"
fi ; done

echo " "
exit 0
