Could you put this into cron? Or create a bash script for this? That
might be easier.
#!/usr/bin/bash
/$PATH/TO/pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname
and then add it into your crontab?
cron -e
*/5 * * * * root /$PATH/TO/pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname>>
/var/log/pqact/pqact.log 2>&1; fi
which would have it run every 5 minutes (obviously overkill, but edit
it to what you'd like)
And you could even do some neat stuff with emailing the results
then
/usr/bin/echo " $i is not working!"|/usr/bin/mailx -s "$i appears to
be down!" your@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I dunno, maybe I'm off track and need a smack.
Either way, I hope my bash-foo points you in the right direction.
