    How To



    Is there any way for a Linux box to send and email when a service like vsftp has fail/stop to the administrator, how can this be done. I am using a FC7.

    Thanks for your time

    There is software that is written for this, but you can do it in a primitive fashion with a while loop like that relies on pgrep or service command, and sleeps. Once the while loop is broken, send a mail out, maybe try to restart the service. Really basic scripting.

    Probably better to get something that is a little more sophisticated, probably hundreds of tools designed for this. Check freshmeat.net.
