[Tfug] Creating a Script to see if amavis is alive

[elemint at theriver.com]

I am trying to create a script to see if amavis is alive and upon 
failure send email to someuser at domain.com

This is what I have so far.


cat amavis.check
grep Connection /var/log/mail.log |grep refused

if  success
then cat /amavis.not.alive | mail [email]user at somedomain.com[/email]


The thought is that when amavis is failing there are messages like the 
one below in mail.log

"Jul 20 11:59:09 mail postfix/qmgr[5764]: 25AE16F8DF: 
to=<user at domain.com>, relay=none, delay=7586, status=deferred (delivery 
temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused)
