A bash script to test a service established or not.

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
I want to write a bash script to restart a service and if the service launched successfully and established then execute the next command.
For example, restart the Apache service and when the service established then the next command execute.

Thank you.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

[start Apache] && [next]



&& operator starts the second only if the first was succesfull

Hi,

This can help you..

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

systemctl restart apache2

if [ $? = '0'  ]; then
        < next command >
fi

Might work as well on mariadb.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/systemctl status mariadb.service | grep "stopped\|dead"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

   printf 'mariadb is not running....'

   sudo /usr/bin/systemctl start mariadb.service

else

     printf  'mariadb is running'
fi

You might also want to tell us what you actually want, instead of how you think the solution should look like.
If you need a service to depend on another (apache), then systemd already has the means to implement that.
Perhaps your "next command" (or service) does not even need to be started after apache, even if you think it should be like that.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/systemctl status mariadb.service | grep "stopped\|dead"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

   printf 'mariadb is not running...'

   sudo /usr/bin/systemctl start mariadb.service

else

     printf  'mariadb is running'
fi

If you're going to use bash then you should use the [[ test instead of [. But you don't need bash and you don't need the test either:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
if systemctl status mariadb.service | grep 'stopped\|dead' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
   printf 'mariadb is not running...\n'
   sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
else
   printf 'mariadb is runnning\n'
fi

Or use the actual command that is intended for this purpose:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
if systemctl is-active mariadb >/dev/null 2>&1; then
   printf 'mariadb is running\n'
else
   printf 'mariadb is not running...\n'
   sudo systemctl start mariadb
fi

Note also the new line after the printf statement

EDIT: actually mariadb.service has:

Code: Select all

# Restart crashed server only, on-failure would also restart, for example, when
# my.cnf contains unknown option
Restart=on-abort
RestartSec=5s

So no script is needed at all.

An override file could be used to change "Restart=on-abort" to "Restart=on-failure":

Code: Select all

# systemctl edit mariadb.service

Then:

Code: Select all

[Service]
Restart=
Restart=on-failure
