Check if a process is running using PHP in Linux

问题

I am using kannel to send SMS via PHP. I want to know how can I check if a particular process is running. For kannel to run, a process named bearerbox should be running all time. I want to check if this process is running or not. Because if the process is not running then a mail will be sent to me notifying me about it.

回答1:

The easiest is to use pgrep, which has an exit code of 0 if the process exists, 1 otherwise.

Here's an example.

exec("pgrep bearerbox", $output, $return);
if ($return == 0) {
    echo "Ok, process is running\n";
}

回答2:

You can use the exec command to find your process and then act accordingly.

Something like:

exec('ps aux | grep bearerbox', $output);

You'll need to work out what is returned on your server to decide if it's running or not.

Good luck.

There are a lot of ways to deal with this. The easiest (and a direct answer to your question) is to grab the output of 'ps'.

Deamons tend to always create a 'pid' file though. This file contains the process-id of the daemon. If yours has that, you can check the contents of the file and see if the process with that id is still running. This is more reliable.

supervisord might also have this functionality. Lastly, maybe it's better to get a real monitoring system rather than build something yourself. Nagios might be a good pick, but there might be others.

Simple yet handy solution to monitor processes through PHP: PHP-Linux-Process-Monitor.

The code goals like:

$ps = explode("\n", trim(shell_exec('ps axo pid,ppid,%cpu,pmem,user,group,args --sort %cpu')));
foreach($ps AS $process){
$processes[]=preg_split('@\s+@', trim($process), 7 );
}
$head= array_shift($processes);
$processes = array_reverse($processes);
$output='';
foreach ($head AS $f) $output.="<td class=\"head\">$f</td>";
$output=sprintf('<tr class="head">%s</tr>',$output);
foreach($processes AS $p){
    $output.='<tr>';
    foreach ($p AS $i=>$f){
        if($i==0) $output.=sprintf('<td>%1$s</td>',$f);
        elseif($i==2) $output.=sprintf('<td class="cpu">%1$s<ins style="width:%1$s%%"></ins></td>',$f);
        elseif($i==3) $output.=sprintf('<td class="mem">%1$s<ins style="width="%1$s%%"></ins></td>',$f);
        elseif($i == 6) $output.=sprintf('<td class="command">%1$s</td>',$f);
        else $output.=sprintf('<td>%1$s</td>',$f);
    }
    $output.='</tr>';
}
$cpu=implode('&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;', sys_getloadavg());
$output=sprintf('<table data-cpu="%s" id="process">%s</table>',$cpu, $output);

This is the best way

<?php
exec("ps -eo comm,pid | awk '$1 == "."\"gs\""." { print $2 }'", $output);
if ($output != 0) {
    echo "The process gs is running\n";
}
?>

in the above code gs is the process that I was checking
