Bash script to check if a process is running and if failed, restart it

Thanks to Karson for this one.

Create a file:

sudo nano ./run.sh

#!/bin/sh
if ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep boinc ; then
exit 1
else
sudo systemctl restart boinc-client &
exit 0
fi

Change permissions

sudo chmod +x ./run.sh

Make it run automatically 

crontab -e

Every second

* * * * * /home/user/run.sh

Local backup of wordpress files and mysql db, using tar and mysqldump

Wrote a quick script to make a copy of files + db

#!/bin/bash

cd /srv/www/wordpress
tar -zcvf ~/backup-$(date +"%Y%m%d").tar.gz *
cd
ls backup-*
sudo mysqldump -u root --password="<insert password>" wordpress > ./mysql-$(date +"%Y%m%d").backup
ls mysql-*
