I'm doing a simple script that just doesn't work :) It's _SUPPOSED_ to check to make sure the daemons listed are running, but it always says they are dead.

I'm open to other ways to make this check happen for each of the daemons if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks! 

my @loc_daemons = qw(
        crond
        winbindd
        smbd
        nmbd
        cups
        sshd
        zappa
);

sub check_daemons {
        my ($process, $allcool, $psaxline);
        my @psax_list = `ps ax`;
        foreach $process (@loc_daemons) {
                chomp $process; # Just in case
                $allcool = 'true';
                foreach $psaxline (@psax_list) {
                        if ($psaxline =~ "$process") {
                                $allcool = 'true' unless ($allcool eq 
+'false');
                        } else {
                                $allcool = 'false';
                        }
                }
                if ($allcool eq 'false') {
                        $output .= "$process does not appear to be run
+ning!\n";
                        $hellbrokeloose = 'true';
                }
        }
}
