I wrote a bash script to restart Apache when it hanged and send email to the admin. The code is shown below. the code will restart Apache if the number of Apache process is zero. The problem is: Apache some time hangs and processes is still not zero,so in this case the script will not restart Apache. The needed is: how do I modify the code to restart Apache if it hanged and the processes is not zero.
#!/bin/bash
if [ `pgrep apache2 -c` -le "0" ]; then
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
pkill -u www-data
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
echo "restarting....."
SUBJECT="Apache auto restart"
# Email To ?
EMAIL="[email protected]"
# Email text/message
EMAILMESSAGE="apache auto restart done"
# send an email using /bin/mail
/bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" "$EMAILMESSAGE"
fi
We used to have Apache segfaulting sometimes on a machine; here's the script we used trying to debug the problem while keeping Apache up. It ran from cron (as root) once every minute or so. It should be self-explanatory.
#!/bin/sh
# Script that checks whether apache is still up, and if not:
# - e-mail the last bit of log files
# - kick some life back into it
# -- Thomas, 20050606
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
THEDIR=/tmp/apache-watchdog

mkdir -p $THEDIR
if ( wget --timeout=30 -q -P $THEDIR http://localhost/robots.txt )
then
# we are up
touch ~/.apache-was-up
else
# down! but if it was down already, don't keep spamming
if [[ -f ~/.apache-was-up ]]
then
# write a nice e-mail
echo -n "apache crashed at " > $THEDIR/mail
date >> $THEDIR/mail
echo >> $THEDIR/mail
echo "Access log:" >> $THEDIR/mail
tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2_access/current >> $THEDIR/mail
echo >> $THEDIR/mail
echo "Error log:" >> $THEDIR/mail
tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2_error/current >> $THEDIR/mail
echo >> $THEDIR/mail
# kick apache
echo "Now kicking apache..." >> $THEDIR/mail
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop >> $THEDIR/mail 2>&1
killall -9 apache2 >> $THEDIR/mail 2>&1
/etc/init.d/apache2 start >> $THEDIR/mail 2>&1
# send the mail
echo >> $THEDIR/mail
echo "Good luck troubleshooting!" >> $THEDIR/mail
mail -s "apache-watchdog: apache crashed" $EMAIL < $THEDIR/mail
rm ~/.apache-was-up
fi
fi
rm -rf $THEDIR
We never did figure out the problem...
