Does anyone know a better way to get the status of a gateway instance?  
GetGatewayInstanceStatus(gatewayid) will return true if a instance is starting
AND running, and false if stopped or failed... in my opinion it should only be
true if its running & functional.  But in either case, does anyone know a
better way to obain the correct status of a gateway instance?

    createObject("component",
"CFIDE.adminapi.administrator").login("AdministratorPassword");
        obj = createObject("component", "CFIDE.adminapi.eventgateway");
        obj.GetGatewayInstanceStatus(gatewayid);
    createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").logout();
