Cent OS 6 - auto start a failed service

[Nkumar]

Hi,
I have a service running on Cent OS 6.9. The service is enabled to auto-start on server boot. Now, I want to ensure that there should be a mechanism to auto-start the service if it is in failed state at any time while system is up and running. I know in cent OS 7, there is a feature to do this in the service script using below command in the service script -
**Restart=on-failure**.

How can I achieve the same in Cent OS 6.9?

First, 6.9 is out of date. Run yum update to get up to date on 6.10.

I suspect you'll want to find a third party utility to do this - perhaps 'monit' from EPEL?

Thanks Trevor. I will have a look on 'monit'.
