[mapguide-users] Test if MapGuide server is running

[Zac Spitzer]

I am seeing issues on both linux and windows. Windows is worse because
the daemon crashes in a state which can't be killed except using
zerowave. Running the server interactively ( is mgserver run or
/mgserver.sh ) is better when playing nurse made as you can easily see
when the server has exited.

I am mostly using the SHP provider on linux and SDF on windows.
Mapguide doesn't seem to log any crash error information. I think it
would help if there where server start & stop messages in both the
error and access log files.

Authoring via Studio seems to provoke the crashes the most.
