I have a script to monitor servers which is basically an infinate loop that sleeps and runs again. I start from a ssh session by the command:
ssh -f $server "~/script &" It seems to be dieing on some of our busier servers. I'm guessing this is because I'm not doing it properly... but I'm not sure exactly what "proper" would be to do this. My best guess is I should have the script immediately fork a copy of itself then die while the forked copy still runs, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make that work. Any suggestions would be helpful, especially a sample loop like this that just forks a daemon to do something stupid like print "foo" ; forever.
