You could write a script that wget's the applications home page for a few iterations and that checks that the process is running and restart it if no answer.
You could also use nagios with the check_http or with nrpe to check the processes on the app server. See nagios.org on this one, this is quite a bigger thing than the 1st solution if you do not have a monitoring infrastructure with nagios already setup. > -----Original Message----- > From: Virgo Rustianto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 6:51 AM > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Monitoring of Tomcat process > > Hi there, > > Currently I am using Tomcat webserver 4.1.2, does any one know how to > monitoring Tomcat webserver ?
