How to check that services are running correctly?

Hello,

i just tried to log in the gsa web interface and it told me that the OMP-Service is down. So i tried "/etc/init.d/openvas-manager status“ and got "openvas-manager (pid 12345) is running“. But it was not running correctly.

Is there a better or other way to test that the all services are running correctly? I want to write a script to test it every hour or something like that...

Thanks,
Rene

Hi Rene, all;

I wrote a very little/basic script for launch the services and check
if everything is ok, I think you or someone else can improve it:

--------------------- code --------------

#!/bin/bash
# OpenVAS start file

echo "Launching OpenVAS..."

for i in openvassd openvasmd gsad; do #loop for command to run
echo "Starting $i"
$i
ps cax | grep $i &> /dev/null #check if the program is running
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$i is running" # program is running :)
else
echo "$i is not running" # Opsss... Something wrong
$i
fi
done

echo "OpenVAS launch completed."

--------------------- code --------------

I hope it can help.

Hi Fabrizio,

thanks for the fast response! i have something similar to your script, but i am starting it with the init.d scripts, so all the options are started with it.

Hi Rene,

Well you can modfy my script just to check if the service is
up&running... Maybe you can execute it after 10/15 seconds and just
use:

for i in openvassd openvasmd gsad; do #loop for command to run
ps cax | grep $i &> /dev/null #check if the program is running
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$i is running" # program is running :)
else
echo "$i is not running" # Opsss... Something wrong
$i
fi
done

my 2 cents,

Fabrizio

I forgot that i can use the openvas-check-setup, that script is doing a lot of checks. ;)
i will take that and grep for some errors and warnings…

But thanks for your help!
