Unless you really want to do that in Python. It's just a matter of "ps" and "grep". Simple shell stuff. Example: ps ax | grep apache > by the way, im developing a app, maybe multi-plataform, to install and > manage several open source packages like apache, mySQL, phpwebadmin, > phpnuke, etc... if anyone have nice ideais i apreciate that.. That's usually the Linux distribution's job to handle the installed packages. Some distributions do that better than others (<cough>Debian<cough>). ;) Or what did you mean when you said "install and manage"?
