title: checking tomcat server status
body: <p>When I run following command in linux platform where tomcat server is installed/running, I get footprint of the app server is running. Please refer to an attachment.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ps -ef | grep tomcat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I do not have much understanding how to interpret it. If the server is down, then I would get command that I just ran. </p>
  
  <p>[update] I was searching for Nagios plugin for checking status of tomcat server. </p>
