Watching your UNIX scripts

In one project I needed to run Laravel queue:work for sending emails on production. The problem was that sometimes it quit silently and emails were accumulating in database. To solve it you would probably install program like supervisord or similar.

But the thing is that you don’t always have an possibility to install that program for example like when you are on hosting (my case). To solve this we can simply use bash script.

Below is code which I used to solve my problem.

In this short article I wanted to share solution that I’m using so maybe someone will find it useful.
