ps -A | grep 'mysqld'

Thanks a lot buddy!!!

At least that will get me started....

If anyone has an already exisiting script which does that please post it. I will really appreciate that.

"rpm -qa|grep -i php" and "rpm -qa|grep -i mysql" might also work, if your distro happens to be RPM-based (or "dpkg -l php*" for Apt-based distros) and you're not sure that PHP and/or mySQL are necessarily in the default path...

Thanks...paulsm4

Actually I am on a Sun Solaris Unix System (5.9). And I am just a regular user on the system. I don't have access to root. Will the commands that you gave will still work?

Thanks

Hi -

No, but Solaris has its own package manager you can query (I vaguely recall it being called "admintool")
