CentOS hourly Cabal Service check script.

[xircx]

Hey all,

Though I would share this with you. This script will do a force check on all the cabal services and verify that they are running. If one reports as "stopped" it will start it.

#!/bin/sh

#    Hourly check for Cabal services   #
########################################

#Temp file creator
touch /tmp/cabalstatus.tmp
touch /tmp/fname.tmp

#Status Verifier
service cabal status > /tmp/cabalstatus.tmp
while read s; do
  if [[ $s == *stopped* ]];
  then
    echo "$s" | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/fname.tmp
    service `cat /tmp/fname.tmp` start
    sleep 1
  fi
done < /tmp/cabalstatus.tmp

#Clean Up
rm -rf /tmp/cabalstatus/tmp
rm -rf /tmp/fname.tmp

HowTo:
follow these commands as root:

cd /etc/cron.hourly/
touch cabal_checker
chmod +x cabal_checker
nano cabal_check
paste in the code and press ctrl + x then Y to save and Enter to overwrite.

If you want to test it just stop your server "service cabal stop" and run this script "./cabal_checker".

if all goes good it will start all services.
