The usual way of determining if a particular process is running is to us ps piped to grep for the process. For example, if you want to determine whether Apache is running, you can do something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

ps | grep httpd

and get back some number of lines showing all the processes with httpd in them.

Perhaps unfortunately, one process line you are likely to get back will be "grep httpd". :)

So you may want to filter that out with something like

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep httpd

And this will return only the lines showing actual instances of Apache. Now you are in a position to adapt this to your shell script (presumably being run by the web server---see below) where you just want to return a line saying that apache is or is not running. (You may notice something odd about the particular example I have chosen. :) )

Here, you don't really care about the exact content of the lines, in fact you probably don't want to actually display them. You just want a "count" of the number of lines returned so you know whether there were some or none:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 if [ `ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -c httpd` -gt 0 ] ; then

        echo "<P>apache is running</P>"

        exit

else

        echo "<P>apache is not running</P>"

        exit

fi

Now comes the warning: You need root privileges to look at processes being run by other users and your web server should NOT be running with root privileges. It will usually run either as "www" or as "nobody". So you need to grant LIMITED privs to the user that runs the web server. (I'll assume "www" for this example.) By far the best way to do this is to use sudo. Here is another thread with some discussion of how to go about that.

In this case, (let's assume desdemona is the name of your server) the easiest thing might be to put the actual script (let's call it foo.cgi) for this specific function directly into cgi-bin (which may be /usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin, for example) and set the privs for it as:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

chmod 0744 foo.cgi

so that only root can execute it and then include the lines:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 # User privilege specification

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

www     desdemona=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin/foo.cgi

in your /etc/sudoers file.

I know that this is probably more information and less "how-to" than you may have been hoping for, but in fact, it's not quite as simple as dropping in a pre-made script.

one more thing. Below shell script i create all servers are running or not
but i wrote like
i create a file, name of the file is =input_file(in that file put the all servers name)
and run the scripts
getting out put like

SERVER NAME

NETXfnic_uas02_31008 = 1
NETXacs2_uas02_31011 = 0 (this name AMERICAN CENTURY2)
NETXnetxpress_uas02_31013 = 1 (this name NETXPRESS)
NETXjohnston_uas02_31035 = 1
NETXemerald_uas02_31039 = 1
NETXjapan_uas02_31044 = 1
NETXncbank_uas02_31073 = 1
NETXcunamutual_uas02_31069 = 1
NETXhibernia_uas02_31081 = 1

but i want OUTPUT like

AMERICAN CENTURY2 NOT RUNNING
NETXPRESS RUNNING

(NETXacs2_uas02_31011) this is the server name but output like AMERICAN CENTURY2 i want show in the web page

so many servers we have ,so we show the in the web page like
server name = running
server name1 = not running

AMERICAN CENTURY2 NOT RUNNING
NETXPRESS RUNNING

var=`cat input_file`

if [ -f ./out.htm ]
then
rm ./out.htm
fi

for list_of_proc in $var
do
echo $list_of_proc
ps -eaf | grep $list_of_proc >> ./out.htm >&1
done

for list_of_proc in $var
do
flag=`grep "NETXcppServer -name $list_of_proc" out.htm|wc -l`

startTag="<html><head></head><body><h1>"
endTag="</h1></body></html>"
echo "$startTag" "$list_of_proc" "=" "$flag" "$endTag" >> /u/mkulluru/dev/html/abc.htm
done

please reply me it help and carrier will good for me also

don't have to use that many greps, when awk does the job :)

Eh?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 [root@deimos ~]# ps -ef | grep 'bash'

prn       2915  2912  0  2007 pts/1    00:00:00 bash

root      2949  2944  0  2007 pts/1    00:00:00 -bash

prn      22993 22984  0 Mar07 pts/2    00:00:00 bash

prn      26492 26491  0 12:54 pts/3    00:00:00 -bash

root     26526 26525  0 12:54 pts/3    00:00:00 -bash

root     26581 26526  0 12:57 pts/3    00:00:00 grep bash

[root@deimos ~]# ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -c bash

5

[root@deimos ~]# ps -ef | awk 'bash'

[root@deimos ~]#

If, in those circumstances, I grep just for "bash", I get back 5 instances plus the grep itself. If I use -v to exclude the "grep" line, I get back the proper count. If I use the awk expression you gave, I am getting back nothing.

I could always use something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 [root@deimos ~]# ps -ef | awk /bash/

prn       2915  2912  0  2007 pts/1    00:00:00 bash

root      2949  2944  0  2007 pts/1    00:00:00 -bash

prn      22993 22984  0 Mar07 pts/2    00:00:00 bash

prn      26492 26491  0 12:54 pts/3    00:00:00 -bash

root     26526 26525  0 12:54 pts/3    00:00:00 -bash

root     26614 26526  0 13:06 pts/3    00:00:00 awk /bash/

but that is simply equivalent to the case of "ps -ef | grep bash" so I'm not clear on what you mean there.

Sorry, Madhu. I am having trouble figuring out what you mean. Can you rephrase your question? And please use "code" tags around your code. I'm not clear on what you're getting, what you want and why. Let's try to get one point at a time. It looks like you're trying to ask several questions together and I'm not understanding which is what.

sorry, i did not finish the code...
here's what i meant

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

# ps -ef | awk '/bash/ && !/awk/'

you don't have to call another grep process just to remove the extra "grep". however, it doesn't matter really..some people have gotten used to grep -v grep. :)

These input_file have the 40 sites name

var=`cat input_file`

if [ -f ./out.htm ]
then
rm ./out.htm
fi

for list_of_proc in $var
do
echo $list_of_proc
ps -eaf | grep $list_of_proc >> ./out.htm >&1
done

endTag="</h1></body></html>"
echo "$startTag" "$list_of_proc" "=" "$flag" "$endTag" >> /u/mkulluru/dev/html/abc.htm

i am getting out

Republic = 1
TRP = 0
(here 1 mean is running)
(here 0 mean is not running)
