Hi,
I am looking for a script to monitor few processes on Solaris box. This script should send me a email once if any critical daemons go down. Also the out of the script should tell me how many instances of each process is running ( out out should look some what like this. ) Process Name Number abc 1 xyz 2

Below is just a suggestion .
1) Get a baseline of the processes that are running on your system. Pipe the output to a file, call it baseline.txt or something eg ps -eo fname | uniq > baseline.txt Ensure that the system only runs the necessary applications that you want for normal operations 2) Write a script to a) get current processes of the system, ie can use the same command as 1a) b) Iterate the results of 2a) using loops as well as using the "grep" command to search whether your process is "down" eg for process in `ps -eo fname|uniq` do grep $process baseline.txt if return result is 1 (not found) then process_alerts done
