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

[Chris Mathis]

the problems that i see with this so far is that:
#1 rather than just greping for Connection and refused you should be
also greping for 127.0.0.1 because if you dont have that the connection
could be being refused from another box, there for putting amavis in a
continous loop. 
#2 you realy should be doing a tail of the log rather than greping
through the entire thing, so that ooops it restarted and the mail.log
did not update or somthing like that happens, your again not doing a
loop. 
other than that it looks fine, though my question would be "why is
amavis not alive? i didnt stop it"
