How do I restart a daemon ?

[HostV Joseph]

To restart them from the shell, must be logged in as root to do this.
Just type,

root@host [~]# ls /etc/init.d/



It will display which are all the services running in the server.

For Eg: named, exim, nfs, ypbind, iptables are the few daemons.Let's say
that named/bind is down and we need to restart it. As root, simply type


/etc/init.d/named start



It will start the named service.To restart the web service, just type

/etc/init.d/httpd start


/etc/init.d/cpanel restart ==> It will restart the cpanel.

Our website goes offline too often - how can we set up a script that will automatically restart the virtuozzo container and its services when the website is offline? Where should the script go so that it will run? Will a cron job run when the website is offline?

Some code to start with:

ping -c 1 [ip address here] > /dev/null

if [ "$?" -eq 1 ] ; then
[restart services code here]
fi

Anyone have a script like this or know how to do it?

It seems like the server goes offline due to spamming, as it is always during the midnight hours USA time...all other times the server is well below the limits...today's server offline time seems due to server issues though.

Thanks.

Hi,

I guess you are Roxanne or somebody who is associated with gymchat. In that case the script has been setup on the main nodes for both the vps's you are having. I hope this helps.

Cheers !
