Monitoring running applications on Linux

[edwardzg]

I’m looking for some way to monitoring on Linux systems running application or scripts. For example, postfix, mysqld, or simply checking the result of the implementation of the /etc/init.d/postfix status.

This should be as simple as writing a shell script to run, for example, "service postfix status" and comparing the output for OK/Critical.

That works fine as well, and is essentially the same thing tmcdonald recommended. Glad to see it works for you!
