Hi.

I need to know if a service is running on my server. Is there any PHP
instruction that I can use to do this?

If the service accepts incoming connections then you might be able to
use curl to try and connect to the machine on the port associated with
the service in question. *If the service doesn't accept connections
then some other approach would be needed. *I've not looked closely at
the responses already made but at first glance they look like they
could work.

Seems like fsockopen() would probably be sufficient.

if ($handle = fsockopen ('localhost', 80, $errnum, $errmsg, 1))
{
echo ('A web server is running on this system<br>');
fclose ($handle);
}
else
{
echo ($errnum . ' ' . $errmsg . '<br>');
echo ('A web server is not running on this system<br>');
}

if ($handle = fsockopen ('localhost', 443, $errnum, $errmsg, 1))
{
echo ('A secure web server is running on this system<br>');
fclose ($handle);
}
else
{
echo ($errnum . ' ' . $errmsg . '<br>');
echo ('A secure web server is not running on this system<br>');
}
