[Zope] Re: chk zope is running

[Gregory Dudek]

Several suggestions have been made for how to check that zope is 
running.
There was some discussion of what pattern to look for.

Generally, the "ps" method can be adjusted to your system by doing a 
plain
"ps ax", looking for the line that seems to be the zope process, and 
then using
a grep for that pattern.

e.g.

ps ax
   found ZoPe-foo
then use
   ps ax | grep ZoPe-foo

This (and the other method proposed) still have the disadvantage that 
it cannot detect a
hung zope process, of course.  To do that from the command line, create 
an very simple page
containing the string "all-is-alll" (for example)
with a URL like http://127.0.0.1/i_am_alive and then from the command 
line
use something like
     lynx -dump  http://127.0.0.1/i_am_alive  |  grep all-is-well
