Detect easyapache running

[hellnux]

Hi,

I create a shell script, but this script can not execute when easyapache running.

With a simple "ps aux | grep easyapache" is not 100% functional, it seems that easyapache executes several other commands.

Have any way to find if the easypache is running without the "ps aux | grep easyapache"? Like A PID, lock file, etc.

Thanks!

When EasyApache is running, this file will exist:

/usr/local/apache/AN_EASYAPACHE_BUILD_IS_CURRENTLY_RUNNING

Your script could simply check for the existence of that file.

Thanks for answer cPanelTristan.

I run a command /scripts/easyapache --build , but a file AN_EASYAPACHE_BUILD_IS_CURRENTLY_RUNNING has created ~3 minutes later.

Have any way to find if the easypache is running, since the beginning to the end of execution?

WHM 11.30.2 (build 1)

The build isn't considered to be running until that file has been created. This is the only way I know to check for EasyApache running. Put a time delay in your script if necessary to do a recheck after 5 minutes otherwise.

My script is running in 20 to 20 seconds, if i increase delay, i'm end the usefulness of the script. When i apply /scripts/easyapache --build, apparently all process of apache is down, because "ps aux | grep httpd" returning nothing, thus activating my script.

Anyway, thanks for explanation.

What is your script doing exactly? It is restarting Apache when it is down, which many other scripts accomplish including chkservd if you monitor Apache in it?

[hellnux]

Is one of the features of the script, unfortunately this is one feature that i can talk, but the purpose is to keep apache on.

I do not know the chkservd yet.

Thanks.
