I've been batting this around a few unix boards but they are a fairly aloof lot
and I can't seem to get any answers.
I am running Terascript with FileMaker on OSX. Terascript talks to FileMaker
via JDBC and FileMaker provides a process called fmxdbc_listener that listens
for the JDBC calls and passes them on to FileMaker. fmxdbc_listener has a bug
and it's memory footprint slowly grows until it crashes. FileMaker are not
interested in this bug as I guess not enough people are using JDBC and
experiencing it. I am.
I have converted an old script I got from who knows where that used to watch
witangod, and if it crashed, launch it again. The new version can test whether
fmxdbc_listener is alive and if it is, writes to a log. If it isn't it writes
to a log and fires up the process. Works fine when triggered manually. When I
trigger it through launchd (something that apparently replaces CRON) it writes
to the log just fine but fails to start up fmxdbc_listener.
[code]
#!/bin/sh
#checking to see if fmxdbc_listener exists and writing to a variable
ps -ax |grep '/[f]mxdbc_listen' > /dev/null 2>&1
#echo "$checkfmxdbc"
if [ $? = "0" ]; then
echo "fmxdbc_listener is still Running - `date`" >> /checkfmxdbc.log
else
echo "ERROR - fmxdbc_listener is NOT Running - `date`" >>
/checkfmxdbc.log
cd /Applications/FileMaker\ Pro\ 11\ Advanced/Extensions/xDBC\
Support/fmxdbc_listener.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
./fmxdbc_listener -u wayneirvine &
fi
[/code]
Using Lingon I have tried as a 'My agents', 'User agents', 'User Daemons' and
'System Agents'. I have tried in the user account 'wayneirvine' and the root
account, with the -u argument and without.
Any one have any input on this?
