Determine when a remote system is rebooted

Question

I am writing a c# program that calls a batch file that reboots the a remote system to another partition. Is there a way to know when the system is done rebooting? I would like to know when I can access the remote system once it is rebooted.

Answer 1

I would ping it to determine when it's back online. There's a Ping built right into .net.
