Hi Jan, Its easy... You can use the web browser text tool called curl: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html And a example of launch: if curl -m $TIMEOUT_PETICION_WEB "http://$HOST_INTRANET:$PUERTO_WEB_GAM_INTRANET" 2>&1 | grep -i \<\/html\> > /dev/null then echo "Arrancado..." else # Indeterminado o no responde echo "Parado..." fi The timeout can be 2 (seconds) If you need to check also ldap: change http to ldap If you need to check web + ldap and, by example, a engine servlet: "http://$ADMIN_LDAP_WEB_GAM:$CLAVE_ADMIN_LDAP_WEB_GAM@$HOST_I NTRANET:$PUERTO_WEB_GAM_INTRANET/caucho_status" You can to probe also a db pool, creating a jsp page with a simple connection sql form, and calling it... My question is I would like to know the objective of this processes at Apache 2.2.2: infra 24269 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 25115 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 24270 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 24268 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 25098 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 24266 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 24247 1 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start infra 24267 24247 /app/apache-2.2.2/bin/httpd -k start Process 24269, 25115, etc... childrens of 24247 Cesar Jorge -----Mensaje original----- De: Graves, Jan [mailto:Jan.Graves@xxxxxxx] Enviado el: jueves, 06 de julio de 2006 16:16 Para: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Asunto: [users@httpd] How to tell if Apache is really running First I have to apologize to all of you Apache experts for what will sound like a stupid question. However, I am new to Apache and will admit that I have not a clue what I am doing with it. How can I tell if Apache is really running, since now matter what I cannot access the web site this server should be hosting? This command ps -ax |grep http produces the following results: 1029 ?? Ss 0:00.46 /usr/local/sbin/httpd 1030 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd 1031 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd 1032 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd 1033 ?? I 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd I am running Apache Version 1.3 on a Unix system. Things were running fine until storms took out the power over the week-end and the system needed to be re-started. This system was set up by a third party company who no longer provides support. So, I am trying to determine what the problem is. The Unix system itself starts and all of the processes that I expect, except Apache. I have attached the error log file. If anyone needs further information, please let me know. I will try to find it. In looking at the Apache site, I know that things were not left in default places. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
