Plugins » Keep Process Running |
Scout is a server monitoring & reporting application that's powered by plugins like this. Once you create your free Scout account, installing a plugin is a button-click away.  |
This plugin simply monitors the active running processes to see if a specific process is running.
If it is not running, the restart action is taken. If a restart action is not specified, or left blank, it simply will attempt to re-run the process (as the current running user).
This allows you to specify a startup script or other process to allow startup as a different user.
Takes in a Process to Monitor: the full path to a process to monitor, for example:
ruby script/runner script/ferret_start
Also takes in a Restart Action: the optional command to run (if no restart action given, the process itself is used) to restart the process if it is not running, for example:
cd /path/to/rails/app && /usr/bin/ruby /path/to/rails/appscript/runner /path/to/rails_app/script/ferret_start

I think this plugin could benefit from using the IO#popen calls (or even IO#popen3) so it can catch STDOUT, STDERR for those processes that use them.
