Sometimes you want to provide high availability on a service. Unfortunately there is no resource agent available by the provider. Thus you have to use the LSB script, which is also fine. Before that you just have to be sure that your LSB script is compatible. I wrote a simple bash script to figure this out :).
#!/bin/bash
## Main
echo "Please select a service to check:"
read TMP_DAEMON
DAEMON="/etc/init.d/$TMP_DAEMON"
if [ -f $DAEMON ]; then
if [[ `$DAEMON status > /dev/null; echo $?` -eq 3 ]]; then
$DAEMON start /dev/null
CODE=$(echo $?)
if [ $CODE -eq 0 ]; then
echo -e "START facility in STOPPED state \033[32m[OK]\033[0m"
else
echo -e "START facility in STOPPED state \033[31m[FAILED]\033[0m, returned $CODE and should return 0"
fi
$DAEMON status > /dev/null
CODE=$(echo $?)
if [ $CODE -eq 0 ]; then
echo -e "STATUS facility in RUNNING state \033[32m[OK]\033[0m"
else
echo -e "STATUS facility in RUNNING state \033[31m[FAILED]\033[0m, returned $CODE and should return 0"
