    There is a 'netstat -O' or 'netstat VDPT' command that will display the list of targets and whether they are available. For example:

    Dest: 9.67.170.215..8000
    DestXCF: 9.67.140.41
    TotalConn: 0000000000 Rdy: 001 WLM: 08 TSR: 100 <-- application is available because the ready count is non-zero
    DistMethod: BaseWLM
    Flg:
    Dest: 9.67.170.215..8000
    DestXCF: 9.67.140.42
    TotalConn: 0000000000 Rdy: 000 WLM: 00 TSR: 100 <-- application is not available because the ready count is zero
    DistMethod: BaseWLM
