    I got this script and modified a little as my requiremnet. This is very help
    full and running fine with me, if any body need it for securing his service.

    First edit crontab by following command:
    #crontab -e
    and add following line in crontab:
    0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /root/send.sh

    copy this script in /root/send.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    # see if the service if running
    COUNT=`ps waux |grep -v grep|grep -c sendmail`
    # if the service if running quit
    if [ $COUNT != 0 ]
    then
    echo $COUNT " is o.k. exiting..."
    # if the service is not running...
    else
    echo "sendmail is down on server... Restarting...."
    # politely stop and start the service
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
    # e-page someone so they will know there was a problem
    cat /root/problem.msg |mail -s "sendmail down on your system"
