Python script to start, restart and stop the apache server

[Ranjith Kumar]

Hi,
   I planned to write a python script to starts the apache server and when
the HTTPD goes down/drop it should auto restart and when user chooses stop
it should stop the apache server.
Here the start and stop should be user set but the restart when the server
goes down.

Similar to this program,
This is shell script,

#!/bin/bash
# Apache Process Monitor
# Restart Apache Web Server When It Goes Down

# RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux restart command
RESTART="/sbin/service httpd restart"

# uncomment if you are using Debian / Ubuntu Linux
#RESTART="/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"

#path to pgrep command
PGREP="/usr/bin/pgrep"

# Httpd daemon name,
# Under RHEL/CentOS/Fedora it is httpd
# Under Debian 4.x it is apache2
HTTPD="httpd"

# find httpd pid
$PGREP ${HTTPD}

if [ $? -ne 0 ] # if apache not running
then
 # restart apache
 $RESTART
fi
