How can you verify if a vi on a remote system is running?

[Mark Stolowski]

Is there a way to positivly determine if a VI is running using VI server? I have a standard PC peer to peer networked to a PXI chassis. Reading a boolean on the remote vi works unless the vi was shut down incorrectly as the boolean stays at it's last state. I know you can check to see if a vi is in memory, can you check the status of it as to whether it is running or not?

thanks

Under VI properties, execution, state. Reading this will give you that information.
