Sorry I didn't mention about that. Its basically a function specified in Redhat systems in /etc/init.d/functions. Following is the code for status status() { local base=${1##*/} local pid # Test syntax. if [ "$#" = 0 ] ; then echo $"Usage: status {program}" return 1 fi # First try "pidof" pid=`pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x $1 || \ pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x ${base}` if [ -n "$pid" ]; then echo $"${base} (pid $pid) is running..." return 0 fi # Next try "/var/run/*.pid" files if [ -f /var/run/${base}.pid ] ; then read pid < /var/run/${base}.pid if [ -n "$pid" ]; then echo $"${base} dead but pid file exists" return 1 fi fi # See if /var/lock/subsys/${base} exists if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/${base} ]; then echo $"${base} dead but subsys locked" return 2 fi echo $"${base} is stopped" return 3 } Regards, Atul __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
