Check whether a slimserver task is running:
ps ax | grep slimserver | grep -v grep

Or open a CLI prompt to run eg. the "status" query:
telnet localhost 9090

Check log file:

tail /Users/[yourusername]/Library/Logs/Squeezebox/server.log

> Which commands would stop / start? I

cd /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/MacOS/
../start-server
../stop-server

> have a suspicion that perhaps the server rebooted (power interruption?)
> and LMS did not restart (which is an issue that I have been having with
> LMS v. 7.9 and I haven't downgrade to 7.7.5 yet).

What OSX version?
