I was wondering if I could use a connection test. I have monit running on the server in question to keep an eye on samba and openssh.I've enabled the httpd for remote gui access. Could I not just do a connection test, the servers lan ip address is 10.1.1.151 and it has the port 2812 open for the httpd part of monit. Can i do some kind of test with monit to check that ip address, and if there is no return ping then run a shell script that will sort out my ip address ? PS I know this is a problem to fix in the OS or some other running program, and I'm looking into that, however I need a quick patch asap. Here is my /etc/monitrc file. ---------------------set daemon 60 # check services at 1-minute intervals set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set httpd port 2812 and use address 10.1.1.152 # only accept connection from localhost allow 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 # allow localhost to connect to the server and allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit' check process smbd with pidfile /var/run/smbd.pid start program = "/usr/local/etc/init.d/samba start" stop program = "/usr/local/etc/init.d/samba stop" check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid start program = "/usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start" stop program = "/usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh stop"--------------------- Thanks all.Stephen.
