RE: Restarting sshd v3.6.1 on Solaris

Curt,

Why not just setup a cron job to run every few minutes and if the SSHD daemon is down, restart it. Or you could simply create a script and stick it in a continuous loop, sleep every few minutes, then check the daemon that way.

If sshd is not running there isn't a way to restart it unless you have physical access to the system, or console access via a terminal concentrator.

Subject: Restarting sshd v3.6.1 on Solaris

I have ssh 3.6.1p1 running on Solaris 2.5/6/7/8 and 9. Aside from walking over to the host and issuing /etc/init.d/sshd start, how do restart sshd if 1) it fails and 2) you modify the configuration file and need to restart it on a remote host?

Thanks for the help,
