I thought about a simple way of checking if a service is installed and running. Below is the script for it.
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter service name to check: " ServiceName
# Alternative using grep, uncomment line 5 and comment line 8
#if which "$ServiceName" &>/dev/null; then if ps -aux | grep -v grep | grep -q "$ServiceName"; then echo "$ServiceName is installed and running"; else echo "$ServiceName is installed, but not running"; fi; else echo "$ServiceName is not installed"; fi
# Alternative using pgrep, uncomment line 8 and comment line 5
if which "$ServiceName" &>/dev/null; then if pgrep -c "$ServiceName" > 0; then echo "$ServiceName is installed and running"; else echo "$ServiceName is installed, but not running"; fi; else echo "$ServiceName is not installed"; fi
Feel free to comment if you have a suggestion to make it simpler
