[PLUG] Load killer ?

[Glenn Kelley <glenn@typo3usa.com>]

Greetings

I am wondering if anyone can help me here...
Don't know python - but perhaps that would help...

in short we want to measure httpd

when this service goes over say 6 on load
we want to kill it and restart

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#use strict;
$|++;
open(LOAD,"/proc/loadavg") || die "couldn't open /proc/loadavg: $!\n";
my @load=split(/ /,<LOAD>);
close(LOAD);
if ($load[0] > 9) {
`/sbin/service httpd restart`;
}


was my first attempt except of course - that will kill whenever any  
load happens

any suggestions...
