[mapguide-users] Test if MapGuide server is running

[Jim O'Leary]

The unit tests are not a reliable indicator of the MapGuide server status
because the MapGuide server has not "stopped". It is just hanging and thinks
it is running, so reports on any test that "The repository is already opened
by another process". 

So there is no simple way to test that the MapGuide server is running?
