Few times ago there was one of our clients had error problem that the database server had been always down. We already suggested to upgrade the memory but our clients didn't agree with that. Finally, we take conclusion to make bash script for this kind of issue.
here is a simple shell script tested on CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / Debian / Ubuntu Linux. this script work it under any other UNIX liker operating system. It will check for httpd pid using pgrep command
pgrep looks through the currently running processes and lists the process IDs which matches the selection criteria to screen. If no process found it will simply return exit status 0 (zero). Below is the script:
save the script with name maria.sh and then edit your crontab file
add this line
Good luck!
