[mapguide-users] Test if MapGuide server is running

[Jason Birch]

Jim, I wouldn't count on a lack of entries in the log file indicating that the server is running.  This hasn't happened to me recently, but I've seen a few cases where the server has just dumped out without any entries.
 
Using something like the mapagent's GetSiteVersion would have the benefit of testing both the web tier and the server, but of course it wouldn't tell you which was broken so a commandline API call might be better.

I think this would involve a lot of overhead. I would have to 'try' to create
a Session and 'catch' an exception. But i want to do this every few seconds.
It would be easier to use a Python script to parse the log file. However, it
would be more appropriate to use a built-in test, if one exists.
