status Script

Hello,

Does anybody here have a good idea of a script that automatically checks Essbase services and running applications?

I have developed this simple one for instance:

oracle@acixp0024ctm:~$ cat status.sh

ps auxww |grep Middleware |awk '{ printf "%s (%s)\n", $10,$2 }'

But it's not so clear, I'd like some ideas on a better one. Something that would show "Active processes" and "Essbase server is up"

Thank you!
