Hi to all . I tried to make a simple and extensible skeleton ( sentinel.pl) , simple enough ( I'm new to perl), and extensible enough for me to be able to extend this script. The first task was to watch over two background scripts( greylister.pl, repeater.pl). It seems like daemon works, and death of any of background scripts is detectable for script, but one thing looks odd for me. Sentinel.pl is able to start greylister.pl\repeater.pl only if they weren't running at the moment of sentinel's first start, but if any of scripts will die later when sentinel.pl is running, this event is logged but scripts ( repeater\greylister) are not restarted.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Watchdog daemon, made for watching and restarting of all system elem
+ents.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
