Clients don't have TCP/IP ports open until the schedule comes due, so one
can't bounce off those ports to determine existence.
The closest thing might be the SHOW PENDING server command, unless a
comparable SQL query could be formulated.  But even then, that's an *expected*
client presence, whereas you want current actual.  This may require some
alternate access to the client to look for the ADSM client process.
