Checking Whether Servers Are Running
You can check whether a particular server is running by performing a server ping operation. This might be a convenient test when some client users report they can't communicate with a server. The server ping operation communicates with the named server to test its presence, returning a 1 is a server is listening and a 0 if it is not listening. The following example tests whether the video_clip server is running.
dcecp> server ping /.:/hosts/silver/config/srvrconf/video_clip
1
dcecp>
