I created a small perl script to make sure my bot is running and haven't seen anything like it on the boards, so I am sharing it here.

Shelly

bot_check.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Author: Shelly
# Notes:
# 1. Replace all "YourBotName" with what ever the name of your bot.
# 2. Replace your_account\@your_mail_host with the email address you want to recieve your
# logs and notifications at.
# 3. I also place the bot in it's own directory (YourBotName), but save the logs in bebot's home directory.
# This way I can run multiple bots.
# 4. Crontab Entry for Fedora Core/ Vixie Cron
# 0/10 * * * * cd /home/bebot; ./bot_check.pl >/dev/null

#
##
### Check for AO Bots and restart if necessary
##
## bebot 12007 11929 0 11:45 pts/0 00:00:00 php -f YourBotName/start.php
#

$mdate = `date +%b-%d-%Y`;

$z = `ps -ef |grep YourBotName |grep -v grep`;
chop($z);
if ($z eq "")
{
system("mail your_account\@your_mail_host -s \"Starting YourBotName bot on web1\" </home/bebot/YourBotName.log");
system("mv /home/bebot/YourBotName.log /home/bebot/YourBotName.log-${mdate}");
system("cd /home/bebot; /usr/local/bin/php -f /home/bebot/YourBotName/start.php > /home/bebot/YourBotName.log &");
}

Made a bash script, and since i'm running multiple bots, check the botname, and bot dir.

Works if you're running bots as:

Code:

php -f StartBot.php <botname>

Logs are saved in the bot's logdir, with .log instead of .txt.

The script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
### bot crontab script by laen@onedot.nl
###
### run as <script_name> <bot_dir> <bot_name> <bot_dimension (1, 2 or 3)>

# code
if [ ! "`ps x -o args | grep "php -f StartBot.php "$2"" | grep -v grep | cut -d " " -f 4`" = "$2" ]; then
cd "$HOME"/"$1"/; php -f StartBot.php $2 >> log/`echo "$2" | tr "A-Z" "a-z"`\@RK"$3"/`date +%Y-%m-%d.log` 2>&1 &
fi

Example crontab:

Code:

*/5 * * * * /home/user/bot_check.sh bots/org Botty 1
