Check the status of the LiteSpeed web server

harmless rootLiteSpeeddebian, ubuntu
root@server
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl status

Asks the LiteSpeed control script for the server state. If the service is running, the output reports the PID of the main process, otherwise it says the server is not running. The script lives in the same place on LiteSpeed Enterprise and OpenLiteSpeed.

Note: Alternatively, systemctl status lsws shows the state from systemd’s point of view, including the latest log lines.
