[VladCab]

OK JAMF nation, New to JAMF & Redhat. Do you know of a shell script that will check the status of jamf.tomcat7 take the parameter of start, stop restart and report back status after it runs.

If I recall correctly,

/etc/init.d/jamf.tomcat start/stop/status

(choose one)
will return what you are looking for. Browsing to https://yourjss.com:8443 will also tell you something ;-) What more are you looking for?

I've used curl in the past to check that the site is reachable and readable.

Are you getting frequent tomcat crashes?

I've got a scripted solution for monitoring my JSS's Tomcat, which regularly checks that Tomcat is running. If it's not, the following actions are taken:

1. Tomcat is restarted
2. I receive an email letting me know Tomcat has been restarted, along with other diagnostic information.

I have a post about this solution available from the link below:

The scripts are available on my GitHub repo via the link below:
