2 really simple ways


-----------------------------
# Assume tomcat is the only java process
COWBELL=`ps -ef | grep java| grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ $COWBELL > 0 ]; then
 echo "Woohoo - the process is there";
fi
-----------------------------

OR

-----------------------------
# Assume glodenfile should be result from url below
rm dest_file.html
wget http://more/cowbell.txt --output-document=dest_file.html
COWBELL=`diff dest_file.html goldenfile.html | wc -l`
if [ $COWBELL == 0 ]; then
 echo "Woohoo - the site is up (and not hacked)";
else
 echo "The downloaded page is diff from the golden file"
fi
-----------------------------
