WatchDog watchdog.sh script for checking server running

#!/bin/bash
# Service watchdog script
# Put in crontab to automatially restart services (and optionally email you) if they die for some reason.
# Note: You need to run this as root otherwise you won't be able to restart services.
#
# Example crontab usage:
#
# Strict check for apache2 service every 5 minutes, pipe results to /dev/null
# */5 * * * * sh /root/watchdog.sh apache2 "" > /dev/null
#
# "Loose" check for mysqld every 5 minutes, second parameter is the name of the service
# to restart, in case the application and service names differ. Also emails a report to admin@domain.com
# about the restart.
# */5 * * * * sh /root/watchdog.sh mysqld mysql admin@domain.com > /dev/null

# Apache:
# apache2 - Debian/Ubuntu
