Jeff, if you just start a channel and somthing goes wrong, you see the channel in state RETRY - but you do not really know, why.
A channel ping tells you a little more, for example: - listener not available - channel not defined remotely - SSL configuration mismatch - ... This is also an argument, to let a listener running when a QMgr ist stopped for a moment. The only thing, what a ping does not check is the sequence number (unfortunately).
