Is there a simple way to amcheck to see if the clients are responding
properly without checking the tape ?

ie: jukebox is at a satellite office and has no new tapes (all tapes
are ACTIVE and can not be overwritten) and running amcheck to see if
the client where I just hup'd inetd, is working, is slooow.

I don't know that amanda version or even OS matters, there isn't
a standard switch for this non-standard issue.

Is there a way to ping the client port ?
