Re: [EXTERNAL] Restart apps based on total system CPU usage

[Mike D]

Thanks for the script Mark. I'm not sure it suits my needs. I essentially just want to know if Monit can do something like:

check system $HOST

    if cpu usage (system) > 20% for 2 cycles then $restart_a_given_app

Here's a script that kills the highest cpu process if the system resources are above a certain threshold.  You can probably adapt it to your needs.

Doing this in general is a little dangerous, I only use this on a local personal server, so tread carefully.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Restart apps based on total system CPU usage

Hello,

I'm trying to locate documentation on restarting a given application based on the CPU usage of the total system. I'm having trouble finding an example similar to that.

Is it possible? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
