I'm writing a script that will automate the launch of some services on my AIX machine. However, some services are dependent on the successful startup of others. When I start these services manually, I usually just check a log file until I see a message that confirms a successful startup. So, I figure I can integrate this into my script but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I was thinking something like this:
but that seems cumbersome for the system (not to mention the fact that I don't think it's working). What would be the best approach here? Thanks for your help.
By the way, I'm using the Korn shell.
As your concern is to check if related service is Up or not running I think you have to deal with "ps -ef"
So if you want to run your script after being sure that apache is Up you can do it like this
If [`ps -ef|egrep -i "http|apache"|wc -l` -gt 1 ]
then

I have a file that is 20 - 80+ MB in size that is a certain type of log file.
It logs one of our processes and this process is multi-threaded. Therefore the log file is kind of a mess. Here's an example:

SystemStarter(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SystemStarter(8)NAME
SystemStarter -- Start, stop, and restart system services
SYNOPSIS
SystemStarter [-gvxdDqn] [action [service]]
DESCRIPTION
The SystemStarter utility is deprecated. System services should instead be described by a launchd.plist(5). See launchd(8) for more
details. The launchd utility is available on Mac OS X 10.4 and later.
In earlier versions of Mac OS X, the SystemStarter utility is used to start, stop, and restart the system services which are described in the
/Library/StartupItems/ and /System/Library/StartupItems/ paths.
The optional action argument specifies which action SystemStarter performs on the startup items. The optional service argument specifies
which startup items to perform the action on. If no service is specified, all startup items will be acted on; otherwise, only the item pro-
viding the service, any items it requires, or any items that depend on it will be acted on.
During boot SystemStarter is invoked by launchd(8) and is responsible for starting all startup items in an order that satisfies each item's
requirements.
ACTIONS
start start all items, or start the item that provides the specified service and all items providing services it requires.
stop stop all items, or stop the item that provides the specified service and all items that depend on it.
restart restart all items, or restart the item providing the specified service.
OPTIONS -g (ignored)
-v verbose (text mode) startup
-x (ignored)
-r (ignored)
-d print debugging output
-D print debugging output and dependencies
-q be quiet (disable debugging output)
-n don't actually perform action on items (no-run mode)
NOTES
Unless an explicit call to ConsoleMessage is made, SystemStarter examines the exit status of the startup item scripts to determine the suc-
cess or failure of the services provided by that script.
FILES
/Library/StartupItems/ User-installed startup items.
/System/Library/StartupItems/ System-provided startup items.

The SystemStarter utility appeared in Darwin 1.0 and was extended in Darwin 6.0 to support partial startup and interprocess communication.
SystemStarter was deprecated by launchd(8) in Darwin 8.0.
