As I had to setup a software array on a new machine, I was wondering how to find out
the array status without having a shell.
So I searched google and finally
sourceforge.net for a solution.
As I wasn't able to find what I was looking for, I started some coding myself. I don't claim the result to be "good", professional or
innovative code, but it completely suits my needs. I decided to put it on
sourceforge.net, because I didn't find anythink like it and would like other people to have a solution.
Another reason for publishing this piece of code was the hope,that people using it may want to enhance it (see TODO).
