testing a service activity

[Doug Tody]

Hi Nicolas -

As Ray mentions there are adhoc techniques for doing this which one can
use now.  For the new services, there are plans for a "getAvailability"
service operation which could be called to query the status of a service,
however this is not yet available in current services.
