Restarter script

[Bodyguard]

Hi !

Could anybody help me to find decision in my training task.

Situation: you have a poorly written web service, which stops responding
from time to time. Moreover, we know, that if server has >N tcp sessions
open, the service becomes unresponsive.

Please write a restarter script, which
1) restarts web service, if page is unretrievable in M seconds
2) restarts web service, if service has >N incoming tcp sessions open

I use Debian.

ad 1: Not sure how to determine "hang". Maybe the server spawns child threads for each request, which then could be checked for uptime.

ad 2: You can list open connections with the netstat command.

Thank you.

But, may be some fragment of script.
