Hi Jeff,
have a look on
http://www.sgi.com/software/failsafe/
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/failsafe/mail.html
you can get it at:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/failsafe/
all you'll have to do is to write a shell script that does:
start Linux/PostgreSQL
stop Linux/PostgreSQL
monitor Linux/PostgreSQL (perhaps write data to a table and report success)
Advantages:
-good GUI
-on the market for some time
-still maintained by suse
Disadvatages:
-little bit poor docu
I can perhaps answer some questions, and I would really like to receive the
postgres-start-stop-monitor script!
