I created a line in the same script that restarts mysql that will send email when the service is restarted.
The script is as follows :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# MySQL Process Monitor
# Restart MySQL Web Server When It Goes Down

# RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux restart command
RESTART="/sbin/service mysqld restart"
# uncomment if you are using Debian / Ubuntu Linux
#RESTART="/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
#path to pgrep command
PGREP="/usr/bin/pgrep"
# Httpd daemon name,
# Under RHEL/CentOS/Fedora it is mysqld
# Under Debian 4.x it is mysqld
MYSQLD="mysqld"
SUBJECT="MySQL service status"
EMAIL="aigini@softsolvers.com.my"
EMAILMESSAGE="/tmp/emailmessage.txt"
# find mysqld pid
$PGREP ${MYSQLD}
if [ $? -ne 0 ] # if mysql not running
then
# restart mysqld
$RESTART
fi
#Email status too
echo $EMAILMESSAGE | /bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL"
What does cron has to do with that?
Which mailing daemon do you use? postfix, sendmail, or anything else? If you don't use any, they please install postfix, this should fix your mail issue.
