[Users] Help With Zimbra Script Please

[Mark Nichols]

Swatch does have the ability to send emails, however, if you are monitoring the email system and it's down, that won't work. For one customer, I configured a sendmail (that came with the OS) service to relay the swatch results and it worked OK.

I'm pretty sure you could use a tool called swatchdog/swatch that is bundled with Zimbra to do this (we were just walking about it on irc this week so it must be stuck in my head). It's what's used to watch the zimbra logs and send email notifications but if memory serves you can have it run other commands when a match is made instead of sending an email.

Scripting is not my forte, but I know a little, so asking for help please. 

I'd like to watch mailbox.log for a certain string as the zimbra user and then take an action. Something like: 

tail -F /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log | grep --line-buffered 'Connection pool shut down' | while read ; do 'zmmailboxdctl restart' ; done 

I'd run this in a detached screen session. 

Any help/suggestions appreciated! 

Thanks, 
Mark
