Hi Ktor Team! This is another question. How can I check ktor embeddedserver's status? For example, before start the server I want to check if the server is alive or not. Is there any solution? Thanks.

Ping a port and see if it's open?

I think that may have also some issue.

environment.monitor.subscribe(ApplicationStarting) {
    isAlive = true
}

environment.monitor.subscribe(ApplicationStarted) {
    isAlive = true
}

environment.monitor.subscribe(ApplicationStopPreparing) {
    isAlive = false
}

environment.monitor.subscribe(ApplicationStopping) {
    isAlive = false
}

environment.monitor.subscribe(ApplicationStopped) {
    isAlive = false
}

I found a solution while I'm investigating on the ApplicationEngine source code.
