HI All,
I am planning to transition to DirectAdmin from CPanel, and have a few questions:
- CPanel has a utility called chksrvd, which runs every once in a while to check whether basic daemons (such as httpd, mysql, etc.) are running and restarts the failed one if it died. Does DirectAdmin has a script/feature like this, and if so, how reliable is this feature, i.e. does it check for process ids via ps -ef kind of thing?
- Does DirectAdmin has some kind of a tool to rotate apache logs at certain intervals, i.e. every 6 hours or every day? And, do you know what this uses? Is it based on some piped script as logrotate (where apache logs are piped to lograte script, which rotates the logs at specified times). BTW, I do not want to use awstats or anything like that, just rotate the logs
- CPanel can upgrade/apply patches automatically for base packages on the system, such as apache, mysql, php, etc. ? Can DirectAdmin do this?
