Ok... can someone tell me that is there any system call in Linux/Unix through which I can determine if some daemon/service is running or not. I mean as I can check while scripting as ` /etc/ini.d/mysqld status`... and this show me if the daemon is running or not. So is there any system call or function existing that I may use in C/C++ for checking if the mysqld is running or not. This is the way I have in my mind to check if the mysql is installed or not.. even if it installed and not running ... I can prompt then to the user ! (If someone has better idea then plz state it)
