# UnrealIRCD Crontab v2.1
# $Id$
#
# 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 mail address to mail output to:
# MAIL=me
# These values shouldn't need to be changed
# The path to the ircd binary
ircdexe="@BINDIR@"
# The path to the ircd pid file
ircdname="@IRCDDIR@/ircd.pid"
########## don't change anything below here ##########
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
