Wonderful, just wonderful. Ahh, the joys of being on the cutting edge. So if my installation of Zope chokes regularly-- like every few hours-- and apparently I'm not alone, then I guess the only way to take care of the problem (until someone nails it in the source code) is to write a cron script that tests, I reckon, port 8080, every 5 minutes or so. How do I test this? ping won't do it. Does anyone have a cron script written that they'd care to share? TIA, BenO
No, but the first thing that comes to mind is this: You say "ping" and "cron" so I'm guessing you're on some unix-like OS. OK then, read the wget man page and try this: (WARNING- UNTESTED!!) #!/bin/sh zope_is_alive="wget -q -t 3 -T 30 http://my_zope_site/index_html -O /dev/null" if zope_is_alive; then echo `date` "and all's well" else echo "Oh my god! They killed Zope! You bastards!" zope start fi Call that shell script with cron and there you go. I think. -- ................... paul winkler .................... custom calendars & printing: http://www.calendargalaxy.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com home page: http://www.slinkp.com
