Hi, I have problems with newcs, and I need a check and restart script for newcs via cron. This script need to check newcs every 5 minuts and if it down, to restart it.

I try to do it with this script:

#!/bin/bash
if ps -ef | grep newcs | grep -v grep ; then
echo && date>> /var/log/newcs.ok
else
/usr/local/bin/newcs &
echo && date>> /var/log/newcs.restart

fi


I named this script newcscheck.sh and gave atributes 755

and I add a cronjob:
*/1 * * * * /var/script/newcscheck.sh

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance

The script i use is witn name/location /etc/chkncs :

#!/bin/bash
if ps -ef | grep newcs | grep -v grep ; then
#The process is running, bring it to the front
echo "Newcs is running"
echo && date >> /var/log/newcs.ok
exit 0
fi
#The process is not running, start it
echo "Newcs startes"
echo && date >> /var/log/newcs.check
newcs


And in "crontab -e"
Run evry 5 min.

# m h dom mon dow command
*/5 * * * * /etc/chkncs

Thanks, script work like charm

Good work
