So instead of proper error handling and crashing your service ASAP, you're now going to add another ubus layer which might possibly fail as well. You know, your service could happily ping the watchdog endpoint, yet still fail in other parts. You want something more robust. I would simply add ubus status method to that critical service, then check the output in the cron shell/Lua script and kill the service if the output of the ubus status method wouldnt match liveliness for that service. In other words I think, that one can solve this use case with current solutions, no need to bloat procd. 1. https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html -- ynezz _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
