Re: how to know whether web server of a remote machine is running or not

[Brent Baisley <brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try connecting to it on port 80, the default for web servers. You can 
actually play around by connecting to a webserver (or mail server) 
through telnet. On the command line just type "telnet website.com 80". 
If the server is up, you should be able to interact with the webserver. 
Type something and press return. If you didn't type a valid command, 
you'll get some html code back.
You should be able to do something like this with all the commands in 
php, I have looked into which ones.
