I agree... As a unix support person at work, I find that I have to
write
these types of watchdogs often... Sometimes an application will
partially
fail, or fail but not exit, ending up as some zombie. (I've tried the
I was thinking of a simple bash script something like running ps -aux
|grep asterisk and then some kind of if to say that if the result is
nothing then execute asterisk.. Problem with that theory is that the ps
command will show up as well so i will have to work out a way to drop
that..
I'm assuming you are doing something like
ps axuwww|grep asterisk
If you use a character class on the command line, the command line won't
show up, but what your searching for will, ie.
ps axuwww|grep [a]sterisk
That, and any reason to make ps to all that extra work?
ps x | grep
I still feel that some kind of heartbeat check on asterisk itself would be
best... Does anything like that exist now? Something that an external
process can check with asterisk and verify that all FXS/FXO/IAX2?/SIP/H323
processess are running normally?
I agree... As a unix support person
While thinking about it, you could have a single program (run from init
perhaps) that:
1) Watches for the timestamp being older than x minutes
2) Generates a file to drop in the outbound directory every few minutes
3) Reads a config file on each loop so you can change the settings (i.e.
You can always use the safe_asterisk script...it's in the /usr/src
directory. That's what I use.

Could you not just add it to your /etc/inittab?

Something like this can tell if asterisk is running. You can modify it as
needed. Doesn't match the ps:
if [ A`ps -e | grep asterisk | grep -v grep` = A ]; then
echo
echo It's not running
echo
else
echo
echo It's running
echo
fi

I have just had an issue where asterisk crashed and someone was trying
to call me.. it would be nice if it could
3 ways:
1. in /etc/inittab :
d1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/asterisk -fv
2. use daemontools from DJB
(this is what I use)
3 safe_asterisk
(maybe is better this way) :-)

Maybe you should look at init. From the init man page...
When starting a new process, init first checks whether the file
/etc/initscript exists. If it does, it uses this script to start the
process.
Each time a child terminates, init records the fact

yes,
it is not cron but a daemon. Iactually got the suggestion from this list.
You can get all the glory details from:
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
Dr. Bernstein tools.
I have been using it with asterisk successfully for 4 months.
