I am new to bash scripting and trying to figure out why the below script is outputting that Apache server is not running
whereas it is running properly.
ps cax | grep httpd
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Process is running."
else
echo "Process is not running."
fi
I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Also, how do I make changes to the script that this can test apache server installed on another machine. Kindly help

I put this together based on the above and made so can use other services.
Hope this helps.
#!/bin/bash
# Must be running as root or via sudo permissions to be able to restart
# Put your process name restart command line in
PROCESS_NAME=httpd
if ! pidof $PROCESS_NAME > /dev/null
then
# web server down, restart the server
echo "Server $PROCESS_NAME down"
/usr/sbin/apachectl restart > /dev/null
echo "Tried restart of $PROCESS_NAME. Waiting 10 seconds to settle."
# wait ten
sleep 10
#checking if process restarted or not
if pidof $PROCESS_NAME > /dev/null
then
echo "$PROCESS_NAME was down but is now up."
else
echo "$PROCESS_NAME is still down. Please take some action."
fi
else
echo "Server $PROCESS_NAME up."

This work perfect in an old Debian. Remember to run with bash and not with sh.
In Centos replace with httpd.
#!/bin/bash
if [ $(/etc/init.d/apache2 status | grep -v grep | grep 'apache2 is running' | wc -l) > 0 ]
then
echo "Process is running."
else
echo "Process is not running."

Try and see - simply simplest, most didactic here and well working on Ubuntu 20.04:
- catching output of status to bash variable
- "if" status includes substring (from "Active:" statement) - do job you wanted
- "else" - do another job you defined
#!/bin/bash
servstat=$(service apache2 status)
if [[ $servstat == *"active (running)"* ]]; then
echo "process is running"
else echo "process is not running"

This is menu driven one stop shell script in which you can check the firewall,apache or any other webservices ,you can start or stop the services just by choosing the option in below script
echo "welcome please select your options"
read choice
firewall=`sudo systemctl status firewalld`
apache=`sudo systemctl status apache2`
firewall1=`sudo systemctl stop firewalld`
apache1=`sudo systemctl stop apache2`
startrfirewall=`sudo systemctl start firewalld`
startapache=`sudo systemctl start apache2`
case $choice in
1) status of the firewall is $firewall
;;
2) status of apache is $apache
;;
3) echo stop firewall by $firewall1
;;
4) echo stop apache by $apache1
;;
5) echo start firewall by $startrfirewall
;;
6) echo start apache by $startapache
;;
*) echo exit

This is a working sample of bash script which check the apache status, restart it automatically if down, and alert by telegram bot within unicode emoji.
#!/bin/bash
telegram=(xxxxx, yyyyyy)
if ! pidof apache2 > /dev/null
then
# web server down, restart the server
echo "Server down"
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null
sleep 10
#checking if apache restarted or not
if pidof apache2 > /dev/null
then
for i in "${telegram[@]}"
do
curl -s -X POST https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/sendMessage -d chat_id="$i" -d text="`echo -e '\U0001F525'` Apache stoped on Molib Stage. Automatically restarted succesfully."
done
else
for i in "${telegram[@]}"
do
curl -s -X POST https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/sendMessage -d chat_id="$i" -d text="`echo -e '\U0001F525'` Apache stoped on Molib Stage. Automatically restart failed. Please check manually."
done

Use this:
service apache2 status
Or this:
service --status-all | grep apache2

Instead of httpd try to grep "apache2". To be sure try to check services with the next command and decide the registered name of the apache webserver: service --status-all
