Nim

Hello guys,
what is a sure-shot single command to find out if the NIM environment is working properly from both master as well as client side?

I do not think there is such a thing and probably can't be: NIM is a rather complex environment and for it to "work properly from both master as well as client side" it takes several independent criteria to be met: working network connections, several configurations of various sorts on both the client and the server, a working set of server resources, etc., etc.

While it is possible to test and trace all these things one after the other i do not think there is one "sure-shot single command" to test all these criteria to be met at once.

I hope this helps.
