To be reasonably sure: connect to the default mysql port. To be 100% sure, you'd have to become a (successful) mysql client

Check status of a service

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
