A couple of thoughts:

You could always check the output of
$ ps -e |grep apache
which would return a blank string if the server is stopped, and a formatted list of process IDs if it's running.

Or you could check for the existence of /var/run/apache2.pid which I
*assume* is created when the process is running, and deleted when
stopped (which seems to be the case on my machine).

Fantastic software by the way.

Status in rapache: Confirmed

Bug description:
It would be nice to be able to see if the apache server is (still) running and control that with rapache. At Windows you've got the Apache monitor. It would be great if similar functionality would also be implemented in Rapache. This would include these features:
-View of current server status
-Stop/start/reload control
-Be able to control more servers(this is probably something for stage 2/3)
