Is it posible to use cron scheduler to check if a specific Web server is alive and running?

hi Paros,

Yes, you should be able to do it.

If no pid file exist with your server, you can use the ps command, like this For example with btsync server

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep btsync|grep -c grep

. You get 1 if it is running and 0 if not.

if you have a pid file, you can use the command line, still with btsync server:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/`cat /var/run/btsync.pid`/cmdline|grep -c btsync

you get 0 if it is not running and >0 if it is running
