Hello everyone! My ISP where I have my web page, is running freeBSD 4.0. I do not know a lot about it. I know how to use crontab to start a script at certain time how ever how do I use crontab to check on the script that is already running? I have a long running script and restarting it when it is already running doesn't make sense. That only produces a error message. to start it I would be using something like: 5 * * * * root ./start This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again. Can anyone help?
