How to check if the process is running without using ps

[Sachit]

Hello everyone

I know one method to confirm is "process comndlinearg" running is when process is loading it can make a file and that we can check...but am not satisfied since user may remove the file. I would like to know any other way to which can process can create in some stuff in kernal

any thoughts guys?

May be you can utilize the ps command. Open a terminal/console window and issue this command to read the man page
man ps
are you looking for this Code
ps -ax |grep process-name
i think this might help you

In order to do this what am done is this let's have a look on this
check process <process> with pidfile "/var/run/<process>.pid"
start = "/etc/init.d/<process> start"
stop = "/etc/init.d/<process> stop"
you can develop your own no issues just try to understand the concepts
good luck

I rather search whether my non-Ubuntu system supports it's more precise than doing the "ps", following a "cut", and then a "grep". The "pidof" command is pretty much just like a basic in linux as you know with compared to commercial UNIX
it is better if your script is working on this operating system
