NAME

Monitoring::Sneck::Checks::pid_file - checks the process in a PID file is running

VERSION

Version 0.0.1

SYNOPSIS

nginx_pid|perl:pid_file -f /var/run/nginx.pid -n nginx
unbound_pid|perl:pid_file -f /var/run/local_unbound.pid

DESCRIPTION

Reads the PID file and checks the process is running, through kill 0, which works without being able to signal it. A PID file that is not there, or does not start with a PID, is CRITICAL, as is the process not running, or with --name, being something else, as for a PID used again after the one it was for died.

--name is checked through Proc::ProcessTable, against the process name, which Linux cuts to 15 characters.

OPTIONS

- -f, --file :: The PID file. Required.

- -n, --name :: The name the process must have.

METHODS

check

Does the check.
