It can be very important for a setup that the VSCP daemon is running all the time. If it dies, critical functionality may not work anymore.  Luckily there are tools to help. I have found m/monit to be very useful for this.

The setup is simple and instead of me repeating it here you can follow  excellent this guide.

When things work add the following lines to the m/monit configuration file (/etc/monit/monitrc)

check process vscpd with pidfile /var/run/vscpd/vscpd.pid
start program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd start”
stop program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd stop”
if failed
host demo.vscp.org
port 8080
protocol http
request “/vscp/index.html”
then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

and you will be fully covered.   m/monit will detect when the daemon goes down and then restart it and, if you set up your mail, alert you in a mail that this has been done.

Open source is near ubiquitous in IoT, as our latest report shows. 9 out of 10 IoT developers will use open source in at least one part of their development stack. 6 out of 10 IoT developers contribute to open source projects.
