Probe needed for Cyrus IMAP

[Gary Mills]

The start and stop method scripts for Cyrus IMAP, both for Solaris SMF
and Sun Cluster, are supposed to exit only when the service is fully
up or fully down.  The start method in particular needs some way to
test if the IMAP daemon is accepting and responding to connections.
Is there some simple way this can be done in a shell script?

`telnet' might work, but the script would need to analyze the output
and terminate the connection.  A timeout would also be helpful.  Is
`imtest' better for this?
