Post by: CKConsulting on November 09, 2006, 02:53:27 PM

Every Once in a while my SME7admin will stop graphing.  How do I restart it with out rebooting the box?

Thanks,
Rick

I have found that sometimes it doesn't re-start for me either so I have to do this ...

rm -f /var/run/sme7admin.pid

service sme7admind restart

and then all is fine.

Tib

--- Begin Crazy Suggestion ---

Alter /usr/bin/sme7admind not to run as a daemon and then use a run script to control it with supervise.

This way, if it crashes it will be restarted.

I don't know perl but the run script can be made by modifying an existing one in /var/service/{servicename}. An example could be..

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec /usr/bin/sme7admind

Just food for thought.
