Script to tell if Qpopper is running.

[Account for Debian group mail <debian@pcez.com>]

Hello all,

Once in a while the Qpopper on our mail server will just die. I have to go 
in and issue a "/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart" and it will be backup 
and running.

Has anyone written a script that will run under a cron job that checks to 
make sure that the pop3 server is running and if not will restart it?


Thanks,

Ken
