Processor monitor

[mouse123]

I am running some java program, somehow it stops after couple of days. Is there any script to monitor this process

Monitor it and do what exactly? Re-start it, log failures, raise alarms?

to get a notification and re-start the process

You could create a script that:
1) emails you, saying "starting app @ $(date).."
2) starts your app.
Then add a reference to this script in /etc/inittab.

Yep, follow Hammer's lead.

You'll want to create a script that checks your process every few minutes.... or however often you want.

1. Check the process
2. Start it if isn't running ; do nothing if it is
3. send an email or creating a log saying the process was restarted
4. Put your new "listener" script into crontab to run every few minutes.
