Use this script to check system service of the device(s) on Linux machines.

1. Copy and save the contents below to a UTF-8 editor like notepad++ OR Sublime Text in Windows or gedit in Ubuntu.

   1. If you are using notepad++ then use the bottom right panel to change the type to Unix (LF).

2. Or click here to download the file.
   

   #!/bin/bash
   
   # Define the service names to check
   service_names=("Service1" "Service2")
   
   # Function to check the status of a service
   check_service_status() {
       local service_name="$1"
       if systemctl is-active --quiet "$service_name"; then
           echo "Service $service_name is running."
           systemctl status "$service_name"
       elif systemctl list-unit-files | grep -q "^$service_name.service"; then
           echo "Service $service_name is present but not running."
       else
           echo "Service $service_name is not present."
       fi
   }
   
   # Iterate over the service names and check their status
   for service_name in "${service_names[@]}"; do
       check_service_status "$service_name"
       echo
   done

3. In the script, replace the following placeholder:

   1. Provide the service_names in the script.
      # Define the service names to check

      service_names=("Service1" "Service2")

   2. The script will show system service status:

      1. Running - Will print the status of service.

      2. If service is present but not running it will mention that.

      3. If service is not present, it will mention that.

   3. You can check status of multiple services in one go.
