[basex-talk] Test if basexserver is running?

Hi,

Last year I have written a R-client for basex (https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/master/basex-api/src/main/r/RbaseXClie...). The present version uses no exception handling and you have to include the source-file in your R-code. A much cleaner solution would be catch all the errors and to pack the sources in a package. At this moment, I am working on such a R-package.

The first test that should be executed in the package, is to test if a basexserver is available.

How can I test on Linux, Apple and Windows if a baseserver is running?
