Install Sim - System Integrity Monitor

Description:

SIM is a system and services monitor for ‘SysVinit’ systems. It is designed to be intuitive and modular in nature, and to provide a clean and informative status system. It does this by consistently verifying that services are online, load averages are in check, and log files are at reasonable sizes. Many other SIM modules sport different and in-depth features to bring a well rounded tool to your disposal to stop otherwise common issues daunting internet hosts.

Download the latest release from http://www.rfxn.com/projects/system-integrity-monitor/

http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/sim-current.tar.gz

Now install sim

cd /downloads/
wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/sim-current.tar.gz
tar -zxvf sim-current.tar.gz
cd sim-3*
./setup -i

Now we have to edit which services to monitor

vim /etc/sim.mods

To have it monitor the following services

init.httpd on
init.[service in /ect/init.d/] one

Then create the sim cron job

sim -j on

To confirm your the script is running check your cron log

tail -f /var/log/cron
