How to monitor spamd works well or not?

[Monty Ree <ch...@hotmail.com>]

Hello..

I have operated sendmail + procmail + SA at linux.
and sometimes, it seems that SA doesn't work well.
At that times, I can see so lots of procmail processes.

But after spamd restart, SA works well...
 
So is there any script or tool to monitor spamd works well or not.
If spamd doesn't work well, I would like to restart spamd automatically.

Thanks for your advice.

BTW... you might actually want to figure out what is causing your
problem with spamd, rather than hit it with a hammer. :)

I've recently added a "check_spamd" script to do this to contrib/ in
3.1.6+.  It's primarily meant for use as a Nagios plugin, but it's also
useful in your own scripts.  You'll be able to do exactly what you want
with it.

You can grab it from a tarball or download it here:
