[smokeping-users] Re: Daemons Stops - No graphs created - after few hours

[Nic le Roux]

I have the same problem with the same solution.
Running a Mandrake 9.2 box with latest smoke ping.

What could be possible causes of this ?

How does one enable logging, and where does it log to ?
I also read about debugging mode. How can one enable it ?


Any help appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Nic

This used to happen to me also. I didnt really find the cause of the 
smokeping crashes. I did install a crontab entry that would periodically
check if smokeping was alive and restarted it if needed. Something like
: pgrep -xn smokeping > /dev/null || (smokeping --restart && (echo
"Subject: smokeping is not running! Restarting at `date`" | sendmail -f
sender  recipient)) . Of course you can write something more elegant if
you want... I run that (through crontab) every 30 minutes.
