# PTlink IRCD Crontab
#
# This is a script suitable for use in a crontab. It checks to make sure
# your ircd is running. YOU NEED A SEPARATE CRON JOB FOR EACH IRCD. If your
# ircd isn't found, it'll try to start it back up.
#
# You'll need to edit this script for your ircd.
#
# To check for your ircd every 10 minutes, put the following line in your
# crontab:
# 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/mydir/ircdchk
# And if you don't want to get email from crontab when it checks you ircd,
# put the following in your crontab:
# 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/mydir/ircdchk >/dev/null 2>&1
#
# change this to the directory you run your ircd from:
dir="$HOME/ircd/bin"
# change this to the name of your ircd's file in that directory:
ircdexe="ircd"
# I wouldn't touch this if I were you.
ircdname="../var/ircd.pid"
########## you probably don't need to change anything below here ##########
cd $dir
if test -r $ircdname; then
# there is a pid file -- is it current?
ircdpid=`cat $ircdname`
if `kill -CHLD $ircdpid >/dev/null 2>&1`; then
# it's still going
# back out quietly
exit 0
