man psadwatchd (Administration système) - psadwatchd - checks to make sure kmsgsd and psad are running.
NAME
psadwatchd - checks to make sure kmsgsd and psad are running.
SYNOPSIS
psadwatchd [<config file>]
DESCRIPTION
psadwatchd checks on an interval of every five seconds to make sure that kmsgsd and psad are running on the box. If either of the other two daemons have died, psadwatchd will restart the daemon and notify each email address listed in the EMAIL_ADDRESSES variable (see /etc/psad/psad.conf) that the daemon has been restarted. psadwatchd uses the psad.conf configuration file which by default is located at /etc/psad/psad.conf, but a different path can be specified on the command line.
