Re: Checking if a web server service is running from green screen

Thanks Scott

I will try that.

And my money is on pasting and compiling the "off the top of my head" code
and it working!!

Cheers

Don

In my opinion, the best way to do it from RPG would be to use a tool
like UNIXCMD:
https://www.scottklement.com/unixcmd/


This is off the top of my head and untested, but i'd do something like
this with UNIXCMD:

**FREE
dcl-f UNIX disk(132) handler('UNIXCMDOA': cmd) usropn;

dcl-s cmd char(5000);
dcl-ds record len(132) end-ds;
dcl-s inst char(10) dim(2);

dcl-pr QCMDEXC extpgm('QSYS/QCMDEXC');
cmd char(5000) const;
length packed(15: 5) const;
igc char(3) const options(*nopass);
endpr;


cmd = '/QIBM/ProdData/OS/WebServices/bin/listWebServicesServers.sh';
open UNIX;

read UNIX record;
dow not %eof(UNIX);

if %scan('running': record) = 0;
inst = %split(record:' ');
cmd = 'STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(' + %trim(inst(1)) + ')';
QCMDEXC(cmd: %len(cmd));
endif;

read UNIX record;
enddo;

close UNIX;
*inlr = *on;


If you can't use a tool like this, then you have to write the output
from QSH to a temporary file, and read the file. Or learn how to use
the pipe and spawn APIs.

But if there is a reference for other options then I am always keen to
learn more.

I just need a utility that will check if a web service is started and if

not start it that can be automated.

Thanks

In what language? QShell?

Thanks Bryan,

I ran the QSH
CMD('/QIBM/ProdData/OS/WebServices/bin/listWebServicesServers.sh')

and the result

WSERVICE01 (Running)

Press ENTER to end terminal session.

How do I receive this result so I can interrogate and take an action

based

on the result ?

Thanks
