Make a Linux/Unix Script monitor that connects via ssh and add this to the command line:

perl ${SCRIPT} [service name; ntpd, snmpd, etc. (one per monitor)]

This is the script:

$sa=(`ps -ef | grep $ARGV[0] |grep -v grep | grep -v perl`);

if ($sa =~ $ARGV[0]) {

$val1="is";

$val2=1;

}

else {

$val1="is not";

$val2=0;

}

print "Message.$ARGV[0]_Linux: The $ARGV[0] process $val1 running\n";

print "Statistic.$ARGV[0]_Linux: $val2\n";

It returns 1 if the process is running, 0 if not. the messages is either "The [process_name] is/ is not running"

...or use this and put a bunch of processes on the CL (I have not debugged it yet...might run as is):

se threads;

use threads::shared;

#Critical Processes running: 0 or != 0 and list failed process

$numProcs=scalar(@ARGV);

$stdOut1;

@psName = "";

$errMsg = "All critical core processes are running.";

$i = 0;

$errCnt = 0;

while ($i le $numProcs){

$stdOut1 = `ps -ef |grep -v grep | grep -v perl |grep -i $ARGV[$i]"`;

if ($stdOut1 !~ $ARGV[$i]) {

$psName[$i] = "$ARGV[$i] ";

$errCnt++;

$errMsg = "Critical core process failure; @psName not running";

}

i++;

}

print "Message.CoreProcesses_Alert: $errMsg\n";

print "Statistic.CoreProcesses_Alert: $errCnt\n";

exit 0;
