Hi,

 To test a server, you simply ping its ip address. so you use the WWWObject action using the ip address of your server as the url. then you can catch error and or text.

 so generally a server will have an specific url returning the status, like "1" quite simply, and so when you contact it, if the result is not "1" or it's an error then the server is down.

Hi,

 not really :)

 the UI and the check is two different things. and you can display any text you want regardless of the result of the check.

so if you check and get that the server is up you can show "Server is OK" for example, and if you check and server fails, you can show "Server Offline".

is it what you want to do?


Bye,

Hi,

 wwwObject is a regular action, the Ecosystem only list custom actions basically. I have been very tempted to include official actions as well in a different color. Your post is clearly about this potential confusion.

so wwwObject is already in your action browser basically, no need for the ecosystem.
