## Status
If WeeWX is running in the background, you can use the system's `init` tools
to check the status. For example, on systems that use `systemd`, check it
like this:
```{.shell .copy}
systemctl status weewx
If WeeWX was configured to run as a daemon, you can use the system's `init`
tools to check the status.
=== "systemd"
```{ .shell .copy }
# For Linux systems that use systemd, e.g., Debian, Redhat, SUSE
sudo systemctl status weewx
```
=== "sysV"
```{ .shell .copy }
# For Linux systems that use SysV init, e.g., Slackware, Devuan, Puppy
sudo /etc/init.d/weewx status
```
=== "BSD"
```{ .shell .copy }
# For BSD systems, e.g., FreeBSD, OpenBSD
sudo service weewx status
```
Another way to see whether WeeWX is running is the `ps` tool. For example,
this will tell you whether `weewxd` is running, and if it is, you will see the
additional information including process identifier (PID), memory used, and
how long it has been running.
```
On systems that use `sysV` init scripts, check it like this:
```{.shell .copy}
/etc/init.d/weewx status
ps aux | grep weewxd
```
