Hi All,
I have gone through the following steps to make shell script as a
service. As I was experimenting I used port 5555 but later when i used
7777 it doesnt work as before. I tried using random port numbers from
the available free/private ports . Still had no luck. Please correct me
if I am wrong in the following steps. All this is for forwarding tail
of apache log file to specific port.
regards,
Kanthi
******* Steps I followed **********
Creating the script "apache_monitor.sh"to monitor Apache log file
1) vi /usr/bin/apache_monitor.sh
2) Add the below lines to make the script.
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/tail -f -c -1 /var/log/httpd/access_log
3) Save the file and issue the following UNIX command to make the file
executable:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/apache_monitor.sh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating the configuration file to run the above script as service
The steps below are required to make a script run as service
