Script Needed for Paging support when application is down

Hunki — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:18:14 GMT

Can anyone suggest a way to page support team through a script if the application does not come up clean after a restart through cron job.The application is tuxedo based.

Thanks to all the nice samaritans.

Hi:

Assume that you want to look for a process called "myproc" and email/page if it isn't running:

# [ -z "`UNIX95= ps -C myproc -o pid= -o comm=`" ] && mailx -s "myproc" is not running!" root < /dev/null

Regards!

Hi,
add a cronjob or direct monitoring to check for the job running.
Use a modem to alert your paging service.

Also this brings back quite a few results:

Best to do this from the script that restarts the application...

grep for something in a log file and/or echo $? for the application...

Something like this:

alertxebec="gwild@mydomain.com, applicationuser@mydomain.com:
#############################################################
#
# Mail Log file for the day to Support
#
#############################################################

grep failed $LOGFILE
FTPSTATUS=$?
if test "$FTPSTATUS" = 0
then
#we have a failure
mailx -s "XYZ JOB FTP FAILURE FOR $DATE" alertxebec < $LOGFILE
else
#we have success
mailx -s "XEBEC FTP LOG FILE FOR $DATE" gwild@mydomain.com< $LOGFILE
fi
