I am writing an application which tries to detect if YP is up and running.
If it is, a sub-task is fired off. Otherwise, I just want to continue
normal processing.

It seems to me that there must be an RPC call to do this but I'm not
sure what to do. Maybe a bind request ?

I envisage the solution as something along the lines of ...

	if (yellow_pages_up) {
		/* fire off sub-task
	}
	else {
		/* normal processing */
	}

Can someone suggest a solution ?

Thanks in advance
