# daemon_watchdog
#
# Generic watchdog to detect if a daemon is running. If cannot restart, execute 
# a custom-user defined command to notify daemon is down and continues in
# standby (without notifying / checking) until daemon is alive again.

# Default configuration is for Pandora FMS Server daemon

#               are shown doing a ps aux of ps -Alf

#                  daemon is down before to consider is really down. This
