Rick, That could be, except that if I just gave the stop command and it's "still" running it doesn't nearly concern me as much as getting an Elinks error and wondering if it's because it isn't running or whether there is some other issue. Besides, this It's DEAD/ALIVE message comes _ after _ the call to links to output status, so if there are still running processes from a graceful shutdown, the output just above it should make that clear. This does not replace the call to links, but is in addition to it. I could probably take out the "It's ALIVE" message and achieve my goals, but I've always been a fan of sci-fi and this just seemed too good to pass up. :) Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Houser, Rick [mailto:rick.houser@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2017 1:54 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: A curious thing - apachectl status in Apache 2.4.25 > I just added a couple of lines of shell script following the links > command after the 'status' command line switch. It checks for the number of httpd processes, and if there are none, it echoes "It's DEAD, Jim!". Otherwise It echoes "It's ALIVE!!!". Isn't that just going to give bad results, though? For example, if you had issued apachectl stop, there would still be processes handling the graceful stop, but your script would say it's alive.
