Hi

i am running a certain application not a service that has a debug port and i telnet to access it

some time this application crashes

i need a shell script to be added in crontab and check every 3 seconds for example for the port and if not it should excute certain command

i need this and willing to pay for this if you can do it

thanks a lot

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but check out script and watch.
man script
man watch
You wouldn't need a cron for these.
Assuming it's on a seperate server, I would use screen, then script or watch, then detach. Connect later, then reattach with screen -r .
