You can query the backend via http like so:

   curl http://localhost:6544/Status/xml

and get back xml. grep for Encoder to see if the one you want has state = 0. There is also pending information in the output.

If you're able to use xsl transformations you'd be even farther ahead but grepping will get you there too.
