There are no public interfaces to do that, though we have some Python routines we use for the testsuite that do this. You probably should just be running the depot as an SMF service (pkg/server), and checking whether the service is online or not. > Also is it possible to refresh only a particular depot server "pkg refresh" appears to take an authority name, so you could give that a try.
