[p4] Checking that a server exists?

[Nau, Mike]

You should be able to run the info command since its not affected by a current password, user, or client. If a server exists (and it's running) p4 info will return basic info about the server.

p4 -p <server>:<port> info

What's the easiest way to use p4 to determine if a server exists? For instance, consider this statement:
  p4 -p someServerName depots

If someServerName exists, p4 should list the depots in it, right?

I've tried this approach, but p4 responds:
  Perforce password (P4PASSWD) invalid or unset.

I've tried to login (successfully), as well as specify the client and/or password on the command line. This has not worked, so far.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
--Steve
