******    message to minivend-users from "Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>     ******

A while back Ryan Hertz wrote a script for crontab to check if Minivend is
running and restart it if it is not. I have modified it a little and
thought I would post it. I didn't need the chmod stuff so I removed it.
Also, because my store is hosted, putting "mail orders" in crontab sends
mail to my hosting company, not me. Crontab mails all output to me anyway.
Here is the script. I call it "mvcheck"

#/bin/sh
#
# mvcheck
#

MVURL='www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/simple'
MVDIR='/home/mysite/minivend'

lynx -source $MVURL > mvcheck.out
if cat mvcheck.out | grep "Internal Server Error" > /dev/null
then
        echo "Minivend Server Down: Internal Server Error"
        $MVDIR/bin/restart
        cat mvcheck.out
elif cat mvcheck.out | grep "server not running" > /dev/null
then
        echo "Minivend Server Down: server not running"
        $MVDIR/bin/restart
        cat mvcheck.out
elif cat mvcheck.out | grep "We're sorry, the Minivend server is
unavailable" > /dev/null
then
        echo "Minivend Server Down: We're sorry, the Minivend server is
unavailable"
        $MVDIR/bin/restart
        cat mvcheck.out
fi
