Re: How to monitor for CGI program crashing

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a solution called Job Watch (JOBWATCH) that can monitor jobs for
any state, including MSGW, as well as monitoring message queues for
specific level of messages.  There are a lot more features as well as
watching job CPUs, monitoring for number of jobs running, etc.

It can call any program or command with all the job details available so
you can send an email, text, etc...  You can set it to monitor specific
subsystems or everything.  Lots of configurations to work with.
