Auto Restart MariaDB/MySQL If it Crashes on CentOS
Infrequently it happens on CentOS. MySQL/MariaDB stops working and our web application crashes. At this situation we have to login to SSH and restart MySQL/MariaDB server. It’s a painful thing.
To get rid of this issue, we can create a script to check database service is running or not. If database service stops, the script will restart the service automatically.
Have a look at the bash script to restart MySQL:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if MySQL is running
sudo systemctl status mysql > /dev/null 2>&1
# Restart the MySQL service if it's not running.
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
sudo systemctl restart mysql
fi
Have a look at the bash script to restart MariaDB:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if MariaDB is running
sudo systemctl status mariadb > /dev/null 2>&1
# Restart the MariaDB service if it's not running.
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
sudo systemctl restart mariadb
fi
After that add a cronjob like this:
* * * * * /home/user/scripts/restart_mariadb.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
#or
* * * * * /bin/bash /home/user/scripts/restart_mariadb.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
That’s all. Using this method, you can restart any service. Thanks for reading. ?
