A simple way to do it would be to check if the port your server is running on is accepting connections. If it was then the server is up and if it's not then the server is down.

something like this

$fp = fsockopen('127.0.0.1',2593, $errno, $errstr,5);
if(!$fp){
echo "The shard us down!!!"
}
else{
echo "The shard is up"
fclose($fp);
}

That is a very simple way of accomplishing it, If you wanted to go all out you could connect using UOG packets on the server itself and check if the server is indeed running and return a few statistics.
