Basic monitor to check whether BIND is up and running.
Basic monitor to check whether BIND is up and running. It checks for a number of processes and tries to perform a basic lookup using the localhost.

This script was quickly hacked together for my current customer, as a Q&D solution for their monitoring needs. It's no beauty, but it works. Written in ksh and tested with:
* Solaris 8
* NRPE 1.9
* BIND 8

Should work with other versions as well.

A Critical is sent if:
A) one or more of the required processes is not running, or
B) the script is unable to perform a basic lookup using the localhost.

UPDATE 19/06/2006:
Cleaned up the script a bit and added some checks that are considered the Right Thing to do. Should have done this -way- earlier!
