In the bind9 tarball's contrib directory there is a simply "nanny" perl script. Basically every 30 seconds it checks if PID still exists and does a dig. If no PID, it starts named. If dig fails, it kills the process and starts named. And waits 120 seconds before checking again. I am curious if any users of the nanny.pl script (or similar parent) had any crash but didn't notice it. (Maybe look at logs to see if named started.) Also what other types of nanny scripts do you use? (I already saw other emails with a few suggestions.) _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
