Is there an easy universal way to determine if the service is running? > I don't know that that provides a lot of value, so it may not be worth doing. If there's a one/two liner to figure out if a service is running or not, it may be better to implement `service list` which would print the table of available init scripts, wherever they are enabled or not and wherever they are running or not. If that is deemed to be a better approach I can resubmit the patch. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
