Unix process

Hi,

I have to check 5 Unix processes with the same name. I need an alert, if one process is down. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Henry

This is not possible with the current version. The process needs to have a unique name

Try a script like this and name to for example: my_proc_check
start it like: ./my_proc_check process_name numof_process for example:

./my_proc_check httpd 9 >/var/log/my_proc_check.log 2>&1 &

Then set up serverscheck to watch for process my_proc_check instead. When one httpd process die also my_proc_check will die and you get an alert.

Regards,
Bert
