Howdy, What would you suggest as the possible outputs from the status command?
Personally, every time I've tried something like this I've run into granularity problems. Is the status "ok" when there is a server process, when the server manager webapp is available, or when user webapps are all available, or some subset thereof? If the server is not running, how will you get a status back? Etc etc. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark R.
