awk if condition help
Hi, I need little help with awk's if condition statement. I have following code:
Code:
$ ssh myRemotehost 'ps ww -fu tomcat ' | awk ' { if ($1 == "tomcat") print "tomcat (pid " $2 ") is running... "; else print "tomcat stopped or dead" }'

Prints: 

tomcat stopped or dead
tomcat (pid 12345) is running...

if I do the below command, it prints correctly :

Code:
$ ssh myRemotehost 'ps ww -fu tomcat ' | awk ' /tomcat/ { if ($1 == "tomcat") print "tomcat (pid " $2 ") is running... "; else print "tomcat stopped or dead" }'

Prints: 
tomcat (pid 12345) is running...

But the problem is when the tomcat is not detected by the ps command, i do not see any output where in I would like to see that "tomcat stopped or dead"

Can someone please help me refine this.

Thanks in advance.

       It checks many software configurations like: Apache, Bind DNS, CUPS, PHP, kernel  configuration,  mysql,  network  configuration,  openvpn,
       Packages update, samba, snmpd, squid, tomcat, user accounting, vsftpd, xinetd,

OPTIONS

       --standard (or -a)
	      YASAT  will  performs  a	standard  check  of the system, printing out the results of each test to stdout.  A log is also created in

       --html (or -H)

	      YASAT will do extra (long) tests (lots of find).

	      Set the path where YASAT can find plugins to use. (default is ./plugins )

       --print-level x (or -1)

       --skip TEST
	      A comma separated list of tests to skip without the .test (ex: --skip nfs,ntp). See yasat --list for all tests.

	      Check if an update of YASAT exists

       --send-support
	      Like  --check-update,  but  it  will  send  also as parameter your OS version for statistics.  In the future, perhaps also a sort of
	      send_bugs.
