Determining if process is alive on a different node

[Joel Reymont]

I have a setup with multiple game servers. If a game server dies  
players should be able to reconnect to a different game server. All  
game servers share a database.

Even if I monitor every process on every node all nodes could  
potentially crash and I'll still need to verify the processes when I  
restart the cluster.

If Klacke is right about Erlang tracking node incarnations then I do  
not have a problem and can just rpc:call(... is_process_alive ).
