Hi all,

Even though I use Linux a lot, I have not been doing a lot of hard
core Linux sysadmin stuff for some time, hence the question here :-)

Is there a way to trigger an event (like running a script) when a
process dies? Perhaps even a script to restart a process if it detects
that it's dead?

I have been using cron for monitoring processes up to now, but the
monitoring interval is 1 minute apart. I have a project (streaming of
nature) that should not go down, but the problem is that sometimes it
dies and it takes up to a minute before the traditional monitoring
script will restart it.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Nico.
