3 # Event handler script for restarting a service via NRPE

14 # $5 state to match against ("WARNING" or "CRITICAL")

24 # What state is the service in?
27 # Aha! The service appears to have a problem - perhaps we should restart it
28 # Is this a "soft" or a "hard" state?
30 # We're in a "soft" state, meaning that Nagios is in the middle of retrying the
31 # check before it turns into a "hard" state and contacts get notified...
33 # What check attempt are we on? We don't want to restart the service on the first
34 # check, because it may just be a fluke!
36 # Wait until the check has been tried 3 times before restarting the service
37 # If the check fails on the 4th time (after we restart the service), the state
38 # type will turn to "hard" and contacts will be notified of the problem.
39 # Hopefully this will restart the service successfully, so the 4th check will
40 # result in a "soft" recovery. If that happens no one gets notified because we
43 # Call the service restart script via NRPE

48 # The service somehow managed to turn into a hard error without getting fixed.
49 # It should have been restarted by the code above, but for some reason it didn't.

52 # point (unless you disabled notifications for this service)
