Is there a way for a publisher to check if another node is online and/or if the other node has established subscriptions to topics? (C++). I want to ensure that I don't send a configuration command if the subscriber has not yet subscribed.

I've seen this before that you can do this, but I don’t remember how.

Thanks!

pub.getNumSubscribers() > 0

Depending on your application, consider a latched publisher.

If you cannot use a latch, this question is related: http://answers.ros.org/question/11167/how-do-i-publish-exactly-one-message/
