Verifying startup To verify that the Network Server is currently running, use the ping command. Network Serververifying startup

You can use the ping command in the following ways:

You can use the script NetworkServerControl.bat for Windows systems or NetworkServerControl for UNIX systems with the ping command. For example: NetworkServerControl ping [-h <hostname>;] [-p <portnumber>] You can use the NetworkServerControl ping command: java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl ping [-h <hostname>] [-p <portnumber>] You can use the NetworkServerControl API to verify startup from within a Java application: ping(); The following example uses a method to verify startup. It will try to verify for the specified number of seconds: private static boolean isServerStarted(NetworkServerControl server, int ntries) { for (int i = 1; i <= ntries; i ++) { try { Thread.sleep(500); server.ping(); return true; } catch (Exception e) { if (i == ntries) { return false; } } } return false; }
