[arm-allstar] detect if Allstar is not running

Fri Jun 17 15:56:25 EDT 2022

I use cron to write out a file that UptimeRobot monitors. The check ensures
that the node number is found in the output otherwise I get an alert.

*/5 * * * * asterisk -rx "rpt localnodes 50420" > /srv/http/.astmonitor.html

I like querying for localnodes and then having the check ensure the NodeID
is in the output since it's a bit more comprehensive. It ensures asterisk
is running and responsive and that things are likely working. There are
some other commands you could run to set up other checks as well.
