Check telnet connection

[DrBlack]

Hi everyone... I try to do a script that check vía telnet if a port is open, this script needs to execute every 5 minutes and if in the third attempt the script couldn't connect write a log file to capture with a monitoreing tool.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I use an example in a topic and Helpfile, but the most important is to do three attemps before the ERROR writes the file.

Somebody know a way to do it?

Here is what I've got:

$g_IP = "207.169.88.98"

$g_port = "3389"

; Start The TCP Services

;==============================================

TCPStartUp()

; Connect to a Listening "SOCKET"

;==============================================

$log = FileOpen("c:\connect.log" , 2)

$socket = TCPConnect($g_IP, $g_port)

If $socket = -1 Then

FileWrite($log, "ERROR")

Else

FileWrite($log, "OK")

TCPShutdown ()

EndIf

FileClose($log)

Thanks!!

I ran into this a while back, and took the following approach:

1) Download PORTQRY from Microsoft.

2) Download _RunReadStd() -- lovely UDF available on the forum.

3) Use 1, 2 to write a function like: _TcpPortTest($ip,$port)

essentially, you formulate your portqry request, then execute the command and parse the results.

Eliminates the hassle / overhead of dealing directly w/ the sockets.

Thanks for the reply and the PORTQRY...

The problem is that we aren't the server administrator and we are unable to install software, the only way to do the test is with a script.

We are trying skip add the script Microsoft scheduler to run it.

Thanks.
