You can query the API exposed by Cloudera Manager and simplify your life. For example, you can run the following:

curl -u <CM_USER>:<CM_PASSWD> http://<CM_IP_ADDRESS>:7180/api/v19/clusters/<CLUSTER_NAME>/services/hive2

You'll get a Json answer in reply to your Query, with all the details related to the desired service's status. You can finally parse your Json answer (e.g. using "jq" or directly inside your bash script) and take the desired actions
