Hi,

How can I restart apache automatically?

Can cron jobs help?

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart ?? Will this work in a reseller account?

Thanx,

Guru

works for restarting apache automatically when it goes down

check the README , download it and install it

regards

Cpanel stars Apache when its down.

I want to do it every 3 days.

Though there is no need to if you want to restart apache every couple days a cronjob would be the best to do it automatically. You cannot do this via a reseller as you need to be root to run the commands.

## Every three days at 6 o'clock p.m.
#crontab -e, and add the line:

0 18 */3 * * /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Thankyou guys for the prompt reply

So, where should I insert those lines?

Hey @ JFrechA - The APF and BDF working fine, detected and banned few

su to root
then
crontab -e
then insert the line
then CTRL zz

I prefer an alternative method, since `crontab -e` will sometimes double up the run-parts entries ... Create a file `/etc/cron.d/apacherestart` and drop in your stuff there:

Ah! I'm sorry .. I overlooked ..

Thanx @ texasweb

Catalyst I liked your alternative way, will try it out

I'll get an email notification when the cron job runs?

Excellent!, Have a good luck.

As texasweb said, just su - in the shell prompt, and then crontab -e and insert the line there.
