Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this suggestion has been in status Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Since this request was initially created, the product has improved in this area. The mqsilist command does now provide a status code which enables you to identify if a node is started or stopped (some examples I just executed on ACEv11.0.0.12 is shown below). Of course, in programmatic circumstances, it is sometimes also much simpler to use a REST API call as this way it is possible to retrieve much more detailed information ... for example querying /apiv2 for an integration node will return the processId (amongst many other node details):

Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thanks! We're continuing to investigate ways to simplify the scripting of operational actions in the broker, and this requirement is consistent with that theme.
It's worthwhile noting that what you need can be done in WMB today using Java, using precisely one statement using the Message Broker API (CMP). The return value from the static method LocalBrokerUtilities.getLocalBrokerPID(String brokerName) will return zero for stopped brokers or non-zero for running brokers. (And there are similar static methods in the same class for determining the status of multi-instance brokers.) It would be straightforward to incorporate a call to a program that uses any of these methods into a script.
For more advanced scenarios, you might want to take a look at the BrokerInfo sample included with the product. Alternatively, if you wanted to do this without the dependency of a JVM, you could use the ps command to look for the presence of a bipbroker or DataFlowEngine process, or ping the V8 broker's admin port (if enabled) using standard TCP/IP tools.
