Service Monitor
Source (required if based on other people's work): Add the source-code for this project on git.opendesktop.org
Distribution-independent utility for monitoring/toggling background services (daemons).
Features: show current status of services; start/stop with a single click; placeable on desktop or in dock;
maximum flexibility through shell commands
Installation: plasmapkg -i service-monitor.zip
Submit bugs and feature requests on GitHub: https://github.com/mbleichner/service-monitor/issues
You are welcome to contribute to development, feel free to create a fork on GitHub!
New Features in v2.0:
- Password input dialog now included (no more dependency on external tools like kdesudo)
- Easier management of service definition files (incl. one-click update)
- Hide unavailable services
- Environment variables aren't needed any more ($INITDIR will be guessed, $SUDO has become superfluous)
- Ability to copy existing services as custom services
- Sudo configuration helper (creates snippets for inclusion in /etc/sudoers)
- Three different indicator icon themes
- Option to suppress stdout of start/stop commands
- Report external state changes through KNotify
- Service icons can be placed directly in the panel (without popup)

It whould be great if we could use the plasmoid for remote services too (via ssh???) or wake a remote system (WOL).
Tnx again, keep up the good work!

Actually, it seems you were thinking a bit too complicated. The following commands seem to work fine:
show non-akonadi process:
ps ax | grep "/usr/sbin/mysqld" | grep -v grep| grep -v akonadi
show akonadi process:
ps ax | grep "/usr/sbin/mysqld" | grep -v grep| grep akonadi
Can you check if they work correctly? Then I'll include them into the official sources.

humm...I think it fails because you are going to expect a return code from the test....that's why i used a custom shell script to check mysql instances.

For a check to fail, it is sufficient to return non-zero exit code OR zero output.
For a check to succeed, it must return exit code zero AND non-empty output.
Besides, on second thought it makes little to define a service for the akonadi MySQL process, because there is no shutdown possibility other than killing the server or akonadi itself. For akonadi there is already a service defined, and killing the MySQL process right under Akonadi's nose seems a bad idea to me.
