Is there a way to monitor a services and restart the services?

Hello,
i hope i am posting in the right forum. Basically i am running Filemaker Server and i wanted to monitor the FM Services demon that run on the background but also i wanted to set up script that if the FM Service Demon goes down to restarted it. I am running Mac os X Server 10.4.6 on Xserver G5.
thank you

I haven't really done anything with it, but in OS X Server 10.4, launchd handles starting/restarting daemons that it is watching. If I understand it correctly, as long as launchd starts a process, it will be watched.
If you look at page 39 of the Command Line manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/CommandLinev10.4.pdf), there is a bit of information there. Also, http://www.afp548.com has some really good info on launchd, if I recall. You can probably figure out if FileMaker Server is started by launchd or, if not, how to get launchd to handle it.
Aside from that, I just started looking into monit (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/) to see if it would work for me, which seems like it can do sort of the same thing, perhaps with more notification and reporting.

  • Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

    I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

    You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.
    Good luck...

    I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

    Is there a way that you can share and update the ICal on different Iphone 4S?

    I did that. It looks like everything I want to apply to the iphone from my computer looks good. When I perform an actual sync, what is on my iphone and what I have checked off on the computer are not the same.

  • Is there a way to monitor System Performance for all the computers in my domain?

    Like Resource Monitor for a local computer, Is there a way or tool to monitor the Resources usage of all the computers in my Domain. Can I do it using 2008 R2 server?

    You can monitor all performance counters with perfmon.msc, also for remote computers.
    If you want to monitor systems continuously and log the perforamnce data, you will need a real monitoring solution. Microsoft offers System Center Operations
    Manager for this purpose, but many other third party solution also exist for this purpose.

  • Is there any way to disable Quick Find and use the old VS 2010 find?

    I really dislike the Quick Find dialog. It's one of the few tools from the VS 2010 Productivity Pack that I always disabled. It looks like they've forced it on us with 2012 though, so I'm wondering if there's a way to disable Quick Find and use the old
    style Find dialog?

    I wish the VS2012 devs would realize just how badly the Quick Find tool slows me down. It's poorly labelled, does a full search immediately after every single keystroke, and doesn't default to whatever's highlighted in the code when invoked. It
    makes me feel like I'm the only one who uses the product.
    I agree with ElectricNinja and
    Disable Quick Find in VS 2012
    The quick find is terrible, and was one of the few tools that I'd disable in the 2010 pack.  wish there was a way to return to the good old normal find. 

  • Is there a way to display only duplicates and not the original?

    i know that there is a button to "display duplicates" but that displays both duplicates and the original. i just want to go through and delete everything that i dont need. i have like 40 gbs of duplicates and need some space on my comp. is there a way to do this without going through the duplicates list and deleting things one by one?

    How would you define the duplicate?
    I use the same feature, but many times songs that appear to be duplicates really are not. For example, I might have the same artist doing the song on the original album, on a compilation of greatest hits, on a live disc, and perhaps even on another compilation mixed in with other artists. Which is the duplicate?
    Also you might find that some duplicate songs from the same artist have slightly different names, and they won't show up on the "show duplicates" list.
    I like to keep some duplicates, because one day I might want to play by artist, and another day I might want to play some of my "decade" collections. I decided it was easier to have duplicate songs than try to manage playlists that reference the same song.
    What I have started doing to identify duplicates, and it works well for me, is I make a temporary playlist and put everything by an individual artist into that playlist. I sort by song title. That puts all of the songs that have the same name together, but by artist, and I go through and selectively check / uncheck the songs I want to sync to my iPod or not. I don't try to do my entire library at once, since it's fairly large (in my case). Maybe a process like that would work for you.

  • Is there any way to check rc.conf without restarting the machine?

    Hi everybody,
    I've VPS running with Arch. It was preinstalled with very, very old versiol so I've upgraded everything, updated rc.conf by hand but still never restarted completely. So my question is - is there any way to check that the server will boot up without issues? Is there any way to check that rc.conf is completely valid?

    peets, thanks! It seems to be ok at this point.
    tomk, understood... Well, I'll paste it here maybe somebody could look throught for some possible incompability problems from old version:
    LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
    HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
    TIMEZONE="Europe/Vilnius"
    KEYMAP="us"
    CONSOLEFONT=
    CONSOLEMAP=
    USECOLOR="yes"
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    MOD_BLACKLIST=()
    MODULES=()
    USELVM="no"
    HOSTNAME="server"
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd nginx mysqld @postfix php-fpm @svnse
    rve @pure-ftpd)
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    INTERFACES=( "lo" "venet0" "venet0_0" )
    venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
    rt_venet0="-net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0"
    rt_default="default gw 191.255.255.1"
    ROUTES=( "rt_venet0" "rt_default" )
    venet0_0="venet0:0 79.98.27.163 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
    The most important is to bring networking up after restart :-) last lines from "lo=..." is from old rc.conf so I'm not sure if this is compatible with newest Arch.
    Thank you for help, guys!

  • Is there a way to get data to and from the hard drive of a Powerbook 180 without having to use the floppy drive?

    Howdy folks!
    I have an 20 year old Powerbook 180 with what I think is an unreliable floppy drive. Sometimes while accessing a diskette the screen flickers and usually power to the whole computer drops out.
    I'm not familiar with Mac connectivity. Is there a way to access the hard drive--to get data off of, and install files, etc onto, the hard drive? 3.5 inch drives are 20th century.
    But... I am happy because my old Powerbook still boots up just fine and I can look at my old files installed on the HD ok.
    Thanks,
    Hayward Matt

    Hi Hayward,
    This may be a power supply issue, not necessarily a problem with the floppy drive itself. Any change if you try removing the battery?
    Would it be correct to assume that it is a plain PowerBook 180 (not 180c)? Which power adapter are you using? It must have a 7.5 DC output, but is it capable of supplying at least 2.0 A?
    Unfortunately it is difficult to remove and connect the (2.5" SCSI) hard drive to a modern computer. Had it been 2.5" IDE, things would have been much easier.
    It is possible to set up a serial null-modem connection from a PowerBook 180 to another computer. See the following discussion for details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4974860
    If the PB 180 has an internal modem (or an external modem connected to the modem port), you could send files to another modem-equipped computer over the phone lines. With the proper software installed, the PB 180 can even use a dial-up Internet connection.
    Alternatively, another semi-old (pre-1998) Macintosh computer with built-in Ethernet could be used as an intermediary, You could use LocalTalk (or a plain Mac printer cable) for file sharing between the PB 180 and the semi-old Mac (the latter could then forward files over a local network or via the Internet). It is also possible to connect the PB 180 to the semi-old Mac in SCSI disk mode (see the user guide below for additional information).

    I previously used Pages 09 and when I exported to PDF for my online shop, the table of contents and hyperlinks all worked.  I've exported my first Pages version 5 document to PDF and none of the links work.
    Is there a fix for this?

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
