Since apache does not have a 'status' in it's init script here is one.
Simple copy this into a file and make it executable. This file does assume
you have perl available. If you look closely you can edit this file to
provide status of almost any running process.
******* Begin cut *******
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
printStatus ("Apache", getApacheStatus());
sub printStatus
{
my( $name, $status ) = @_;
if( defined $status )
{
print "$name is $status\n";
}
else
{
warn "Unable to determine status of $name : $!\n";
}
}
sub getServiceStatus
{
my ($pidfile) = @_;
if( -f $pidfile )
{
open( PIDFILE, $pidfile ) or return undef;
my $pid = <PIDFILE>;
chomp $pid;
close( PIDFILE ) or return undef;
my $status = `ps -p $pid -o pid=`;
if( $status =~ /$pid/ )
{
return "running";
}
else
{
return "not running (pid exists)";
}
}
else
{
return "not running (no pid)";
}
}
sub getApacheStatus
{
return getServiceStatus( '/var/run/apache.pid' );
}
******* End cut *******

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How to tell if Apache is really running
First I have to apologize to all of you Apache experts for what will sound
like a stupid question. However, I am new to Apache and will admit that I
have not a clue what I am doing with it. How can I tell if Apache is really
running, since now matter what I cannot access the web site this server
should be hosting?
This command ps -ax |grep http produces the following results:
1029 ?? Ss 0:00.46 /usr/local/sbin/httpd
1030 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd
1031 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd
1032 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd
1033 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd
I am running Apache Version 1.3 on a Unix system. Things were running fine
until storms took out the power over the week-end and the system needed to
be re-started. This system was set up by a third party company who no
longer provides support. So, I am trying to determine what the problem is.
The Unix system itself starts and all of the processes that I expect, except
Apache.
I have attached the error log file. If anyone needs further information,
please let me know. I will try to find it. In looking at the Apache site,
I know that things were not left in default places.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
