How do you detect a server instance

[leontova]

Hi All. I've got several CF7 Enterprise servers and would like, within a cfc,
to detect whether or not a CF instance is running on one of the other servers
(other than calling a web page belonging to that server) The instances have
their own service but I'd like to avoid going through Windows Server to get the
state of the instance. I thought about the Administrator API but that doesn't
have a get-State-of-instance function. Any body have any ideas on how I can
achieve this?

Thanks for your help!

<cfscript>
createObject("component", "CFIDE.adminapi.administrator").login("Lijn7") ;
serverInstanceObj=createObject("component", "CFIDE.adminapi.serverinstance");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#serverInstanceObj#">

BKBK. Thank you for your reply. I tried working with this but I couldn't figure
out how to get a boolean back describing the on/off state of a instance name.
Do you have any further insight on this?

Thanks for your time.

My Coldfusion is not a multiserver configuration version. The component
serverInstance.cfc is therefore not on my machine and so I can not run
the above code. However, I know that you will find the methods you need and
their signatures when you put the following in your browser
