Environment
Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
Situation
Need monitoring of services, a warning notification if mobility services are down
Resolution
Additional Information
Notification service if any DataSync services/connectors go offline. The script restarts the services if any are found to be in a dead/unused state and sends an email to the administrator defined in the script file. When implemented with crontab, the script can be set to run every hour, for example. This allows an administrator to be notified of a failure before users complain.
