Since the system is a Fedora machine, I'd be looking for the output of:

service squid status

Which should return something like:

squid (pid 13626 13624) is running...

If nothing came back, or if the word 'running' wasn't present then it should go red...

Thanks Adam!

You could configure the proc check to make sure that the specific processes that you are looking for exist. What are you looking for exactly? it may be a quick write since i just got done writing up a script to check who is on the system.

Hi,

Has anyone developed a good 'Services test' for checking the squid process? I can plug in the port number and make sure it's being answered, but does anyone have something better?

Thanks!
