RE: Daemon Monitor

Daemon Monitor
Is there a good program that can monitor a daemon and take an appropriate action if the daemon dies? I am having trouble with ClamAV dying in certain circumstances, but somewhat rare. I would like for when it dies, to either restart it or copy a mail config file for exim over the default and signal Exim which would then disable exim from using clamav so the mail will still come through. Currently we have it disabled until the problem is fixed, but some users are still not heeding the warnings and are infecting themselves with the MyDoom virus which ClamAV was previously blocking. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.

Re: Daemon Monitor
Have you looked at DJB's Daemontools? They are in ports. Regards, Jon Mercer On Sun, 2004-02-08 at 14:13, Loren M.

I want a way to take an action other than restarting the service if the service dies, because I think that ClamAV will keep dying as long as exim is sending it the same email that caused it to crash in the first place, instead I just want to disable exim from using clamav in it's config file until someone can manually intervene and fix the problem. hope that helps.
