                        echo "$string: RUNNING
";
                }
                else {
                        echo "$string: DOWN
";
                }
        }
}

//Beispiel "Text zum anzeigen", "Prozess Name auf dem Server"
server_status("Running With Rifles","rwr_server");
server_status("Starbound","starbound_server");
server_status("Minecraft","minecarf");
?>
