does DA auto restart a service when it goes down?

currently i can't access pop mail and webmail to check email

everythinh is running though:
Apache 1.3.28 Running
DirectAdmin 1.20.3 Running
Exim 3.36 Running
MySQL 4.0.12 Running
Named 9.2.0 Running
ProFTPd 1.2.8 Running
sshd Running
vm-Pop3d 1.1.6 Running
 
Yes if a service goes down DirectAdmin will attempt to bring it back up.

Apache
DirectAdmin
Exim
MySQL
Named
ProFTP
sshd
vm-pop3d

If you require other services to be monitered you may also want to consider installing SIM on your server.

Hello,

If pop is acting up, check /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/maillog for possible causes.

if i stop f.i. httpd by hand, in DA, should DA restart it automatically?

i just stopped it, and its been 10 min, and its still stopped....
and, on what email adress should ik get an email a service has stopped? admin's email adress?

didn't recieve anything
 
nm, i stopped it through DA, stopping it via ssh will make DA start it again

but still, i don't get emails..........
 
You get a message in the message system to notify you the service has been restarted.

i did it a few times, but no msg in msg system...
only about backups being ready
 
Hello,

If the restart happens without an issue, no message is sent. Only if the restart fails does DA send you an email.

Process:

check for program?
yes: done
no: service program start

wait 10 seconds

check for program?
yes: done
no: service program restart

wait 10 seconds

check for program?
yes: done
no: send an email to all administrators.

where is the conf file installed?

can i disable monitoring?

i installed ssh2 instead of ssh
 
Hi brew,

You can disable monitoring of specific services by editing this as root:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

For example, to stop DA from touching SSH set:

sshd=OFF
