Allthough I find it nice that you trust my udf, It doesn't really say anything about the server state; It just checks if the NIC of the server is willing/able to reply to a ping request



You are right.
It will not say anything about running services and stuff like that. It only gives a indication if the system is switched on and can be reached over the network.

My reply was about the use of wshpipe to get the ping results back to the script.
