## NAME
       passenger-status - inspect Phusion Passenger's internal status

## SYNOPSIS
       **passenger-status **[_pid_]

## DESCRIPTION
       **passenger-status **looks at the current status of a Phusion Passenger installation. It will lo‐
       cate  Phusion  Passenger automatically if it is running and will give you a list of instances
       if there is more than one Phusion Passenger instance running. You can  then  select  the  in‐
       stance by specifying the relevant PID on the command line.

       The _general_ _information_ section shows the following details:

       max    The  maximum  number  of application instances that Phusion Passenger will spawn. This
              equals the value given for _PassengerMaxPoolSize_ in the configuration.

       count  The number of application instances that are currently alive.  This  value  is  always
              less than or equal to _max_.

       active The number of application instances that are currently processing requests. This value
              is always less than or equal to _count_.

       inactive
              The  number  of application instances that are currently not processing requests, i.e.
              are idle. Idle application instances will be shutdown after a while, as can be  speci‐
              fied  with  _PassengerPoolIdleTime_  in  the configuration. The value of _inactive_ equals
              _count_ - _active_.

       The _applications_ section shows each application instance, which directory it belongs to.  The
       _sessions_  field  shows how many HTTP client are currently being processed by that application
       instance.

## OPTIONS
       **pid    **The process ID of the Phusion Passenger instance you want to look at
