[Sunhelp] A scripting question

[Jean-Marc Beaudoin]

Good day,

I try to write down a script that would check if apache is up and running.

If not, it would start it.

It's a Solaris 7 system on Intel platform.

The current script is....

#!/bin/sh
ps -ef | grep apache > $HOME/tmp.lis | wc -l $HOME/tmp.lis
if [ $? -lt 2 ] then;
	wall "Restarting Apache server"
	/etc/rc3.d/S77apachectl start
fi

To my understanding the $? should return the number of lines in tmp.lis
file.

Right now, it does not work but I think I am getting close to the
solution.

Any idea? or a better way to do this?
