So , i need to check if mailx command is running or not.
This is gibberish.
Pludi's response is quite correct to the question posed.
Please re-phrase in good English stating what you actually want to know.
Also, are all your hosts HP-UX ?
There is a whole lot of difference between mail (whether the command is "mail" "mailx" or whatever) working within a local server and mail working to external servers.
