Jack W. pointed out Mindcraft, but for systems not covered by Mindcraft
there are other things you can do. Note that probing of this sort is
often considered a mild form of network attack, so don't go doing this
to just anyone.

Specifically,

That's for the OS. For the web server, telnet to port 80 on the host
machine and issue the command
get / HTTP/1.0
...and hit return twice.
For example on my desk here:
[mjinks@titan mjinks]$ telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
get / HTTP/1.0 <-- this is the command, note you don't get a prompt
HTTP/1.1 501 Method Not Implemented

OpenSSL/0.9.5a PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_perl/1.24

Hey, I'm running Apache on Red Hat! And shame on me, I haven't
configured it to return a bogus server banner! BAD net admin! *whack*

With all due respect to Kenny Rogers,
the best that you can hope for is a return code of zero.
