How to tell if the JMS Service is up and running and can accept requests?

There are a couple of ways to tell that the VisiMessage Service is up and running. Firstly, after issuing the command to startup the VisiMessage Service, you should see some output “VisiMessage is ready”. For the clients that wish to use the VisiMessage Service, you first need to determine whether there is an instance of VisiMessage Server running in the network. You can use the “osfind” utility to find out whether any VisiMessage Servers are registered with the Osagent. The default behaviour of the VisiMessage Server is to register itself with the Osagent upon startup.
