[users@httpd] Cron to check that domains are running

Hi,

I have a dedicated server (lamp & cpanel) under which I host different web
domains:
www.domain1.com, www.domain2.com, www.domain3.com, www.domain4.com, ... 

I'm upset because sometimes (rarely, though) I discovered (by opening
www.domainX.com in the browser) that my domains did not work and I had to
restart apache using my root privileges.

Do you have any idea how can I automatically check if such a situation
occurs again? A cron job or something like that?

Thanks a lot for your time,
Sorin

I think it is worth first to find out why this happens. Did you 
investigate your logfiles?

If you really want to solve this problem by running a cronjob, you might 
put it something like

30  *     *     *     *    root    /cronjobs/resQmyhttpd.run

resQmyhttpd.run:
apachectl stop
apachectl start

be aware that if there are visitors online, they might be (temporarilly) 
disconnect by this action.
