I am using kannel to send SMS via PHP. I want to know how can I check if a particular process is running. For kannel to run, a process named bearerbox should be running all time. I want to check if this process is running or not. Because if the process is not running then a mail will be sent to me notifying me about it.
Check if a process is running using PHP in Linux

This is the best way
<?php
exec("ps -eo comm,pid | awk '$1 == "."\"gs\""." { print $2 }'", $output);
if ($output != 0) {
echo "The process gs is running\n";
}
?>
in the above code gs is the process that I was checking
