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
}
