How can you tell if the SageTV Service is running

[BobPhoenix]

Basically does anybody know how to tell if the Service is running from Java?

The IsServerUI API call will tell you that your code is running on a Server PC but I cannot find an API call or combination of calls that will tell me if service mode is running. I can tell if this has been configured to share files with Sage Clients with the IsSageTVServerEnabled but I don't think it will tell me if SERVICE mode is running.

Any ideas?

Are you trying to determine if the service is in use from any client, or are you trying to determine this only while using the UI on the server?

For checking while using the server UI, see this post.

Sorry should have searched for it. Think this will give me what I want. Right now I was just wanting to be able to tell which property file was being used based on the current thread's context.

Edit: Here is what I came up with in case anybody is interested:

    public static boolean isService() throws InvocationTargetException {
        boolean isServerUI = (Boolean) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "IsServerUI", null);
        boolean isGUIBoot = findLocalContext();
        return isServerUI && !isGUIBoot;
    }

    public static boolean isGUIClient() throws InvocationTargetException {
        boolean isServerUI = (Boolean) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "IsServerUI", null);
        boolean isServiceRunning = ((String) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "GetProperty",
                new Object[] {"client", ""})).equalsIgnoreCase("true");
        return isServerUI && isServiceRunning;
    }

    public static boolean isGUIBoot() throws InvocationTargetException {
        boolean isServerUI = (Boolean) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "IsServerUI", null);
        boolean isServiceRunning = ((String) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "GetProperty",
                new Object[] {"client", ""})).equalsIgnoreCase("true");
        boolean isGUIBoot = findLocalContext();
        return isServerUI && !isServiceRunning &&isGUIBoot;
    }

    private static boolean findLocalContext() throws InvocationTargetException {
        String[] contexts = (String[]) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "GetUIContextNames", null);
        for (String context : contexts) {
            if (context.equalsIgnoreCase("SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI")) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    public static boolean isClient() throws InvocationTargetException {
        return (Boolean) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "IsClient", null);
    }

    public static String getContext() throws InvocationTargetException {
        if (isService()) {
            return "Service";
        } else if (isGUIClient()) {
            return "ClientOnService";
        } else if (isGUIBoot()) {
            return "Server";
        } else if (isClient()) {
            return "Client";
        } else {
            return (String) sage.SageTV.apiUI(
                "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI", "GetUIContextName", null);
        }
    }
