Shell Script - if service stopped , script start the service

---

sometimes My mongod service is stopping & I have to restart the MONGOD service to start the service . can I create a script "its check every 5 minutes or 10 miutes that service is in start mode or stop mode" & if it is in stopped condition then its start with that script.

Please guide

@lokesh-suthar,

create a script:

sudo nano /opt/relaunch-stopped-services.sh

#!/bin/bash

service YOUR_SERVICE_NAME_HERE status | grep 'active (running)' > /dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? != 0 ]
then
        sudo service YOUR_SERVICE_NAME_HERE restart > /dev/null
fi

Then,

make it executable: sudo chmod +x /opt/relaunch-stopped-services.sh

Next,

You need to edit your root crontab list sudo crontab -e and not your user profile crontab.

*/5 * * * * /opt/relaunch-stopped-services.sh > /dev/null 2>

This script will run every 5 minutes.
