Hello all

I have a couple of Lawson systems that have been having trouble with lase.

I'm looking for a good way to automatically verify lase is up and functioning.   Is there a command line program that does some kind of simple lookup that depends on lase?

Ideally something (pseudo-code)

$ lawshowuser chbrown

I could then wrap that in a script and monitor the output.

Any clever ideas? 

Thanks

Scott

If you issue a startlase command, it will either start lase or tell you that it is already running? Will that suffice for your use?

Oh, also, if lase is not running, startlase will start it AND[\b] tell you that it started..
ie. If lase is not running your output will look similar to
lase: security environment 9.0.1.7.181 2010-08-10 04:00:00 (201010) started.

If lase is running, your output will be similar to:
Security Environment already started.

If your Lawson is on Unix platform, you should be able to use ps -ef|grep lase to check whether lase process exists or not.

If you use what Xin Li suggests, make sure you exclude the actual grep command. ps -ef|grep lase|grep -v grep

One of the things that I look for on my AIX platform is $LAWDIR/system/lase.pid. If its not there, I know lase is down and was brought down cleanly. If it is there, it gives me the PID of the lase process. You can ps -ef | grep `cat lase.pid` | grep -v grep
