Can some assist me in creating a script that does this. Monitor Eth0 & Eth1 and httpd service. If interface Etho or Eth1 doesn't respond to pings for 5 minutes, the server should do a shutdown. Also if the httpd service isnt running or stopped for any reason shut the machine off. So basically any of these conditions will initiate a poweroff. Thanks This is what ive done so far . Im still missing the ping section. Is what i'm doing correct? #!/bin/sh SERVICE='httpd' Inter0=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth0 | awk '{print $1}'` Inter1=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth1 | awk '{print $1}'` if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $SERVICE > /dev/null then echo "$SERVICE service running" else sleep 30s shutdown -h now fi if [ -z $inter0]; then sleep 30s shutdown -h now fi if [ -z $Inter1]; then sleep 30s shutdown -h now exit
I think you could do this with monit and munin without having to create your own scripts. Falko has published several tutorials on that topic here on howtoforge. E.g. this one for debian: http://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-and-monit-on-debian-lenny
