is there any reliable way to determine if a script is run in the toolserver cluster, i. e. can make use of the database servers & Co., without checking for hostname being wolfs- bane, nightshade or names-to-come?
Check if it can connect to the database server?
No, as:
a) the database servers may be down, and b) running the script on another box somewhere on the net would require waiting for the timeout/rejection of the connection *on* *every* *run* :-).
