[Sunhelp] A scripting question

[Adrian Petrescu]

As far as I remember, "$?" is the exit status of the last executed command.

Let's try something like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/ksh
# Checking if the Apache httpd daemon is running
_Var=`ps -ef|grep httpd|grep -v grep`
if [ -z "$_Var" ]
then
  wall -a $HOME/Message
  /etc/rc3.d/S77apachectl start
fi
# End of script

-------------------------------------------------------

You have to create a file  called Message in your home directory with the 
message you want to send to the users.

You must check also if the S77apachectl process is executable by the script.

Hope it helps,
-Adrian-
