Fellow Monks,
I come to you with a request for help in finding the best way to attack a problem. I am a midway sysadmin at my current job, and I am wanting to setup a daemon to run on a box and monitor certain process to make sure that key things, probably fed from a flat file or oracle, are always running and responding correctly. If there die, I need to either a) be able to spawn them again (shouldn't be too hard) or simply b) inform me or a list of people of there downness (word?). Please fill me with your knowledge perl monks, cause I am pretty close to just $ret = `ps -ef`;
$ret =~ /nastyperlretoparseoutput/;
blah blah blah....
There must be a better way!!!!

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>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
