In above post there was all you needed to know.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
pid=`pgrep -f SimpleHTTPServer`
dir="/home/user/MyDocs/Movies"

if [ -z $pid ]
then
        cd $dir
        develsh -c "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80"
else
        kill $pid
fi
Basically you just check if the process does not exist ($pid lenght is zero), if true run python SimpleHTTPServer, else kill the process. There's no need to use httpshare script as you're not using any of it's functionality.
