Description (last modified by FranklinYu (Franklin Yu))

I would like a new action print that does something similar to systemctl status in systemd. I’m not sure whether everything is available though; I guess we can parse the output of launchctl print and get some information.

The PID from launchctl print doesn’t look like the real daemon (at least it’s the case for Apache HTTP Server), but the daemondo process instead. The real PID locates at 

/opt/local/var/run/apache2/httpd.pid

for Apache. I’m not sure whether it’s equivalent to show the status (running/error/not-loaded) of the daemondo process instead of the real one; showing daemondo process sounds more generic.

I might work on this if I can find time. Will refer to the load action

​https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.6.2/src/port1.0/portload.tcl

for implementation.
