anybody here to know about how to check for available machines

I think that "ping" is for that.

forgive a newbie question, but can you ping with knowing only the
Mac's name?

You can ping the broadcast address for a subnet, but all ping is going to
tell you is that there's a functional NIC and just enough IP to return a
PING. It's not going to tell you bubkis about the applications running on
that box.

Well that would be sufficient for my purposes. The target machine sometimes changes IP numbers, though the name of the machine doesn't change. Knowing the IP number of my target would help eliminate one of the hang-there-and-do-nothing parts of one of my scripts.




 There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
