Description
There are several issues with servicewatcher:
-
as far as I can tell this is the only documentation about it: http://docs.perfsonar.net/config_files.html?highlight=servicewatcher#regular-service-restarts-and-maintenance
-
the defaults are confusing:
The only configuration found is;
/etc/perfsonar/toolkit/servicewatcher.conf
/etc/perfsonar/toolkit/servicewatcher-logger.conf
Still Cron "cron-service_watcher" runs a script, which applies these defaults
my $default_config = "/etc/perfsonar/servicewatcher.conf";
my $default_logger_config = "/etc/perfsonar/servicewatcher-logger.conf";
which apparently don't match.

Research direction
Start with the servicewatcher documentation at docs.perfsonar.net/config_files.html and the cron entry named cron-service_watcher. Compare the documented configuration paths with servicewatcher.conf and servicewatcher-logger.conf under /etc/perfsonar/toolkit and the paths used by the script. Done means the configuration defaults and documentation consistently identify the files that servicewatcher actually uses.
