Check daemon status via systemctl

[Florius]

Hi,

I have CSF running, and this won't work with proc.num, as it doesn't have a process running.
So I'd like to check via systemctl.
I already have a script which gives this output:

   Active: active (exited) since Fri 2018-09-21 17:01:14 CEST; 3 weeks 6 days ago

Is it possible to do something that if it's anything else but 'active (exited)' it triggers?
Thank you!

Florius,

I would use a system run to either run the script or execute the command directly. If you build the return of 1 or 0 into your script then you can alert based off numeric values instead. Essentially make you script check for the Active to be there or not.
