Watchdog for Tinc daemon

[Benjamin Henrion]

Hi,

Just for your information I had the tinc daemon dying on the main
machine I use as a hub, so I looked for a script to restart the daemon
it if dies.

Here is tinc.sh:

==========================================================
#!/bin/bash
# Tinc Process Monitor
# Restart Tinc daemon When It Goes Down
# Source: http://bash.cyberciti.biz/web-server/restart-apache2-httpd-shell-script/

RESTART="/etc/init.d/tinc restart"
PGREP="/usr/bin/pgrep"
TINCD="tincd"

$PGREP ${TINCD} || $RESTART
==========================================================

Put an entry into /etc/crontab every minute:

==========================================================
*/1 * * * * root        /root/watchdog/tinc.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
==========================================================

It works fine here.

Best,

court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
