     I did think about doing that, but a thought came to mind that PHP
     Scripts can't do things like run the rc program.  (can they?)

     This is mainly for my mysql problem.  I am going to play with the
     little script that Anthony sent and see if it will restart the
server
     if it is down.  I HOPE that this will work.

     Chris

Chris,

For future shell scripting needs, I thought I'd let you know that you
can
use PHP to write shell scripts. Since you know your stuff with PHP, you
might be able to write it yourself.

Rock on,
