how to monitor the vsftpd and apache servers

[Maaz]

Dear Gurus
how can I check, that how many users are connected to vsftpd and apache server, and what they(users/client) did ? i.e. in short how can i monitor my servers ?

Thanks in advance

service httpd status
rc=$?

if [ $rc -ne 0 ]
then
echo "httpd server is down"
service httpd start
fi

For users:

httpd_users=$(ps -ef | grep httpd | wc -l)
# This will get you a rough count of how many users are on, though you may need to manipulate the numbers based on how many spare processes you allocate to the apache server in httpd.conf


Same thing would probably work for ftpd

Hi,

for more detailed info about what apache is doing - read about apache module called server-status in apache manual.

Simply:

#ps -ef | grep httpd

#ps -ef | grep vsftp
