Hello, Is there a generic built-in way on CentOS to overlook that a specific process is alive and re-spawn it (or just run a configured command) when it dies?
I know how to script things so a parent will watch its child, but was wondering whether there is something more readily available instead of having to reinvent the wheel. The process must be controlled via a /etc/init.d/... script and should be stop-able (it runs in a primary/stand-by configuration), so use of "respawn" in inittab is not a solution. So far googl'ing for "watchdog" comes up with references about system watchdog - which will reboot the system if the kernel appears to be stuck.
