Howdy!
For reasons beyond my comprehension my MySQL daemon crashed a while ago.
So did the Apache daemon but that's more than a year ago. That's not bad -
2 crashes in three years, is it? The problem is that with this superior
stability I get lulled and those two crashes produced unnecessarily
long downtimes of the website. I heard about daemontools but I followed
the 'DJB's ports removed' thread and so they're not an option anymore.
What are the alternatives? It would be especially interesting to have
a solution that not only checks whether or not a daemon has died but
also whether or not it behaves as it should (e.g. by sending a query
and comparing the result with a stored one).
