B.3 Using the Service Watchdog

Most system services are run by the service watchdog application nanny, which monitors the service process and restarts it automatically if it fails for any reason.

If an administrator e-mail is configured when the system is installed, an e-mail is sent when any Conferencing services fail and need to be restarted. Nanny also outputs to syslog (i.e. /var/log/messages) when a service status changes.
