Tech Tip: How to detect if the Web Server is running in v12 and prior
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 12.5 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: January 7, 2013

The following method can be used to quickly determine whether or not the Web Server is running:

C_BOOLEAN($0)
$0:=(Process number("Web Server";*)#0)
//(named"Serveur Web" in French)


If the code above is saved as UTIL_isWebServerUP then it could be used like this:
if(UTIL_isWebServerUP)
// web server is running
// do something
else
// web server is not riunning
/// do something else
end if


Note: this only works in v12 and prior - it will not work in v13
