hello

I am working on a script for running Splunk.

I want to check status of Splunk and assign the result of the status to a variable for further use.
Can any one please help me with this?

You can run following command and capture the output in a variable.
Shell script example

status=$($SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk status | grep not | wc -l )

If status=0, Splunk is up, down otherwise (1). Replace $SPLUNK_HOME with your installation path.
