Bash script to check running process [duplicate]

Answer 1

I tried your version on BASH version 3.2.29, worked fine. However, you could do something like the above suggested, an example here:

#!/bin/sh

SERVICE="$1"
RESULT=`ps -ef | grep $1 | grep -v 'grep' | grep -v $0`
result=$(echo $ps_out | grep "$1")

if [[ "$result" != "" ]];then
    echo "Running"
else
    echo "Not Running"
fi
