how to chekc that the gpsd is running?

I should make some tests with a GPS module using gpsd. I tried to manipulate the position data to a reference point and it works like I expected. Now, the next step will be to verify the maximum "bootup-time" of the gpsd. For this I wait untill the (linux) system was booted completely (this will be signalized over a LED). After that I wait the accepted 15 seconds to initialize the daemon and everything what it needs. After that I want the check the status of the gpsd. (Has it booted completely?)

How can I verify that the gpsd is running? Is there any possibility to request the status of the daemon? Has anyone an idea?

Thanks a lot!

You can connect to gpsd and retrieve sentences with gpspipe.

to get raw sentences: gpspipe -r

to get gpsd output: gpspipe -w

Also you can check your process to know gpsd is running or not:

ps aux | grep gpsd
