By regularly sending a simple "alive job", which fetches a text file from the server, for example, whose contents can be checked. This request must be sent directly to the CibDocumentServer web application, not to the socket servers.

Example step:

<step name="load"
command="load">
        <properties>
               <property name="InputFilename">Alive.txt</property>
               <property name="WorkSpace">..\templates\</property>
        </properties>
</step>

This procedure does not recognize the following situation: The socket servers terminated unexpectedly, but are restarted by the alive job as planned and successfully.
