Hi, I'm running a mailserver with smtpd (on OpenBSD) for a small group of folks and get some (very occasional) crashes - usually just corrupted sessions. No big deal, a restart of smtpd is all that it takes.
I'm trying to create a Monit (v 4.10.1) recipe that will automatically restart the smtpd process for me, but it just doesn't work. I found the recipe below on a Linux list for monitoring services that don't write a pidfile. -----recipe is currently ---- check host localhost with address www.xxx.yyy.zzz start program = "/usr/libexec/smtpd -f /etc/mail/smtpd.conf" stop program = "pkill smtpd" if failed host www.xxx.yyy.zzz port 25 type tcp protocol smtp then restart -------------- Is anyone here using monit to successfully restart smtpd? Any info appreciated. :-) Sarah -- "Go out on a limb. Thats where the fruit is" - Jimmy Carter
