Is there another script called monitoring that you're calling from monitoring.sh?

ffmpeg
 

hi
the script i call monitor.sh. i want monitor restart stop start ffmpeg when ffmpeg disconnector. the script got problem it can turn on start ffmpeg when it disconnector can anyone help to correct the problem. i using Monit to monitor ffmpeg.

what is this in red

shouldn't the script be called either 'monitoring' or 'monitoring.sh', and not both?

The script is named monitoring.sh. I don't know what monitoring without the sh is. But it looks like maybe the OP is trying to recursively call monitoring.sh, but he forgot the sh on the end.

Hi anyone can rewrite a script monitor ffmpeg pid . ffmpeg disconnector can auto start and restart ffmpeg. my script cannot work can anyone share the script.
