Code:
if ! $SERVICE status > /dev/null 2>&1
then

DESCRIPTION

       Edit  /etc/xrctl.xml,  which  is  the  configuration file, and configure your service(s), all their options, and back ends. Then type xrctl
       start to start all your services, or xrctl stop to stop them.

       list [SERVICE]		- show configuration of a service, or of all
       start [SERVICE]		- start a service, or all configured services
       stop [SERVICE]		- stop a service, or all configured services
       kill [SERVICE]		- brutal stop, interrupts connections
       force [SERVICE]		- start a service (or all) if not running
       stopstart [SERVICE]	- stop and start a service, or all
       killstart [SERVICE]	- kill and start a service, or all
       status [SERVICE] 	- show running status of a service, or of all
       rotate [SERVICE] 	- rotate logs of a service or of all
       generateconfig [SERVICE] - queries running XR's for the configuration
