In Linux, we have the command /etc/init.d/process_name status, this will give whether the process/daemon is running or stopped.
For Example In Ubuntu:
root@Ubu91032b-Bassu:~# /etc/init.d/ssh status
* sshd is running
root@Ubu91032b-Bassu:~#
My question is, is there any command (like above) in Mac to check the status of a daemon/process?
