Get AnyBar status as open/closed? about anybar HOT 3 CLOSED

I think this is a problem that cannot be addressed by Anybar internally, because, well, it might be not running at all when you need to test it. Hence, this should be solved by external tools. ps approach seems ok to me. Do you have any particular issues with it?

Thanks @tonsky. The ps method works much better than expected and I really only wondered if there was a better way

I found that using lsof -Pn -i4 is really simple to parse because it lists the application along with its ports. It outputs:

COMMAND     PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
AnyBar    44361 Gira    3u  IPv4 0x6ac97d677e737941      0t0  UDP *:1738
AnyBar    44462 Gira    3u  IPv4 0x6ac97d677e7355e9      0t0  UDP *:1739

Maybe it's useful for someone :)
