Postgresql Check

[Kenneth Holcomb]

I check the postgresql process (code below) and issue a restart when it fails.  However, in a couple of situations, postgresql is already starting but we kick off a second copy.  Is there a way to have it fail twice before issuing the restart? For other reasons, I don't want to change the polling time.

Thanks…….kenh

check process postgresql with pidfile /var/run/postmaster.5432.pid

   group database

   start program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql start"

   stop program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql stop"

   noalert address@hidden

   alert address@hidden

   alert address@hidden

   alert address@hidden

   if failed host localhost port 5432 protocol pgsql then restart

   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
