Is there a way to remotely check on the state of the Appian engines? (via command line?)

I'm trying to automate the starting/stopping of my Appian environment, and since I'm not supposed to start my application server (JBoss) until all the Appian engines are in an "Okay" state, I need to have a way to monitor the state of the engines programmatically. I have a way to do that from the Appian server directly, but is there a way to do this remotely?...

You can use 'Appian Service Manager' utility to monitor the Appian Engines by configuring email notifications. Here is the link for that Shared Component:

Unfortunately, that does not meet my original need. I want to write a batch script that will safely shut down my environment, make configuration changes, and then safely start up my environment. In order to safely start up my environment, the script needs a way to know when the Appian engines have completely finished starting. Having email notifications does not help me with that.

Since you mention batch scripts, I assume it is a Windows machine. Did you explore methods to remotely launch your existing batch script.

Something like:
schtasks /Create /S %machine% /U %user% /P %userPwd% /RU %executeAs% /RP %executeAsPwd% /SC ONCE /TN AppianEngines /TR %file% /ST 00:00:00

schtasks /Run /S %machine% /U %user% /P %userPwd% /TN AppianEngines

I can't use PsExec because the utility that I'm using to run these scripts (Atlassian Bamboo) doesn't support it. The scheduled task idea is a possibility, though it is kind of hacky....
