@bd808 @Andrew Can you tell me how the output should look like? For example -

 toolsbeta.admin@toolsbeta-bastion-01:~$ webservice status
Your webservice is running 
type of webservice - lighttpd

@Nehajha Something like that would be just fine. I might suggest that you keep the output limited to one line so it's a bit easier for automatic jobs to parse or grep. Maybe just 'Your webservice of type xxx is running.'

Would it make sense to the backend (gridengine/kubernetes) as well?
