[asterisk-users] Execute some kind of script when something happens with Asterisk

[Patrick Plattes]

Hi,

well there are differnt ways to do it. It depends on what you want.
The start-stop scripts in /etc/init.d/ are looking for a pid file, so
they can figure out if the server is running. You can change the
script to get a message if the server is going up or down by the
script.

If you want that the server is working correctly you need more. You
need a second system and write an end-to-end test. Than you can send
out an email (or a sms) if it fails. You can check it every 30s.

The first way is easier, but you won't figure out if the server hangs.

Maybe this is also interesting
