RE: [Help-gnu-radius] Cron Job for rebooting the radius.

Chris,

I suppose that is what we are looking for...

It does not necessarily die or hang on the fault of the radius software.
Perhaps it's a problem on the server end, but for one reason or another the
server needs to be rebooted and restarting the radius software after
rebooting is forgot about.  Having a script that detects if it is running or
not would be great as it would constantly check and if it's not running it
would start it, right?!

Hi,

does your radius just "hang" or does it die? We have set up a simple
shell script which checks whether the radius is still running and if not
the radiusd is restarted if that is not possible we reboot the machine.
We use a simple shell script to do that.

Betreff: [Help-gnu-radius] Cron Job for rebooting the radius.


I have thought about setting up a cron job to just reboot the radius
server,
say around midnight or one in the morning.  This would just be for
precaution purposes.

If our server locks up and is rebooted, there have been times where the
radius will not start back up.  Which scares me, as it is important to
have
that radius back up.  Well, if it doesn't start back up during the day
we
can easily reboot the raduis, if in the middle of the night, perhaps it
would be a good idea to have a cron reboot it every few hours in the
middle
of the night.

Has anyone else thought about something like this?  What would you
suggest?
