title: how to tell if VM is running in server or client mode?
body: <p>The Java hotspot vpm can be run with -client or -server argument. If neither is specified then it chooses one according to some rules.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to tell whether a running VM is running in client or server mode when the mode is not specified on command line? I need this on a Windows box outside the running process.</p>
  
  <p>I realize this is not a programming question, but I hope it is ok because it is programming related. Thanks in advance.</p>
