Here is how you can do it with a socket on php-fpm 7

install socat
apt-get install socat

#!/bin/sh

  if echo /dev/null | socat UNIX:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock - ; then
    echo "$home/run/php-fpm.sock connect OK"
  else
    echo "$home/run/php-fpm.sock connect ERROR"
  fi

You can also check if the service is running like this.

service php7.0-fpm status | grep running

It will return

Active: active (running) since Sun 2017-04-09 12:48:09 PDT; 48s ago

Assuming you are on Linux  check if php-fpm is running by searching through the process list   ps aux   grep php-fpm   If running over IP  as opposed to over Unix socket  then you can also check for the port   netstat -an   grep  9000   Or using nmap   nmap localhost -p 9000   Lastly  I ve read that you can request the status  but in my experience this has proven unreliable    etc init d php5-fpm status

PHP-FPM is a service that spawns new PHP processes when needed  usually through a fast-cgi module like nginx   You can tell  with a margin of error  by just checking the init d script e g   sudo  etc init d php-fpm status   What port or unix file socket is being used is up to the configuration  but often is just TCP port 9000   i e  127 0 0 1 9000  The best way to tell if it is running correctly is to have nginx running  and setup a virtual host that will fast-cgi pass to PHP-FPM  and just check it with wget or a browser
