Script counting instances of software running on a machine
Hello to all @here,
as Iīm new to this forum, I will try to start in a easy way for my first post. Iīm not beginner in scripting, but also not a proffessional. So please keep easy, if I donīt understand your explanation at once
I donīt mean it in a bad way!
Here is the Problem:
There were about 470 Servers running in my company. The most of them were hardware, on which are running mostly virtual machines. On this virtual machines are running Application Servers like WebLogic (Oracle), WebSphere (IBM), JBoss, Apache, TomCat and some other applications that donīt matter to me. My job is now, to check all servers and to analyze how many of this applications were actually running at the same time.
Some of the applications is maintained by the customer, some by our company. But all machines were from our company. So the point is, to create a script, which will count the applications running on a system.
My first intention was, to go over to the machine, and put a script on it, that will count the applications. But I donīt have thought on one important point. Some of the machines could be maintained by the owner or a colleague, so that there is no process running at this time, when my script starts. Maybe somebody over here, have a better solution for me, how to handle this problem.
***
Actually Iīm standing at this point, that I have created a script, that takes a ps -ef and greps out the processes that were important to me over ssh to a special server. But if the machine is not running the application, I will get back no result. So I tried now in another step, to take the find command, to find the path of an apache, WAS, WLS, ...and so on. My next problem that occured was, that some customers have saved their installations of WAS, WLS, JBoss, Apache ... under different directories with different names. Some call it WebLogic, others WLS1, other OracleWebLogic and some in companynames or crypted names. The main thing is, that all of this applications use apache or tomcat as a communication plattform for extern connections.
Now there were 2 different ways to go on. I can create a script, that can be stored local on the virtual machine, or I can store it on a central place and work with a list, of all available servers, to solve my problem. What is the best way, what do you thing and what would you prefer in this way? Do you have an other solution for me? Maybe I need some other impulses?!!?!?
What I forgot to say, some customers were running more than one instance of the application server. For example, there were some customers, that have running 6-8 WLS on a cluster of 3 machines. And additional they have installed also some other applications for testing purposes. I have to count all instances, that were running. So I need to know, if WLS for example is running at this machine, and if so, how many instances were installed/running actually.
If somebody is interested in my script, let me know, maybe I can post it here or somewhere else, so that you can take a look at. But I would like to know, if Iīm on the right way with my thoughts or if I should go another way that is more comfortable.
If you have questions, let me know!

libcurl(3) libcurl easy interface libcurl(3) NAME
libcurl-easy - easy interface overview DESCRIPTION
When using libcurl's "easy" interface you init your session and get a handle (often referred to as an "easy handle"), which you use as input to the easy interface functions you use. Use curl_easy_init(3) to get the handle. You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, the most important among them is the URL itself (you can't transfer anything without a specified URL as you may have figured out yourself). You might want to set some callbacks as well that will be called from the library when data is available etc. curl_easy_setopt(3) is used for all this. When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer using curl_easy_perform(3). It will then do the entire operation and won't return until it is done (successfully or not). After the transfer has been made, you can set new options and make another transfer, or if you're done, cleanup the session by calling curl_easy_cleanup(3). If you want persistent connections, you don't cleanup immediately, but instead run ahead and perform other transfers using the same easy handle. libcurl 7.10.7 12 Aug 2003 libcurl(3)
