How to include the crond service to chkservd
How to include the crond service to chkservd
First we need to create a crond file under the chkservd.d directory where all the services files are placed:
vi /etc/chkserv.d/crond
Add the following line to the file:
service[crond]=x,x,x,/etc/init.d/crond restart,crond,root
Now we need to edit the chkservd configuration file and enable the crond service for monitoring
vi /etc/chkserv.d/chkservd.conf
add the following line at the end of the file
crond:1
Restart the chkservd service for the new changes to take affect:
/scripts/restartsrv chkservd
Stop the service manually and watch chkservd logs to verify auto-restart.
service crond stop; tail -f /var/log/chkservd.log
You should notice that the crond service is restarted automatically.
