Thanks everyone, I simplify the problem with my own request. In our real env, only one application deployed in one apache-tomcat server. And application will always have its name under opt folder as:
/opt/tomcat/APP_NAME/tomcat-VERSION/webapp/APP_NAME tomcat version: 5.5, 6.0.18, 6.0.29 Unix env: Solaris 8/10 I wrote a small script to detect the application status easily. ******************************************************************** $ cat tomcat_status instance=$1 status=$(/usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx |nawk '$1=$1' OFS="\n" |nawk -F \/ -v s=$instance '/Dcatalina.home=/&&($4==s)') if [[ $status == "" ]]; then echo "Application $instance is NOT running. " exit 0 else echo "Application $instance is running. " exit 1 fi ******************************************************************** With that, I can detect the exit ID in cronjob, if find any application is not running, the cronjob will try to start it. This simple script has fixed my current problem, I will think to write another script, which will detect the application service status by error logs. Happy to share it to everyone, if you have any question regarding this script, just ask.
