Checking if SErver is up
Hi All

Does anyone have any idea on how I can check in a script if a server is responind. I thought of using ping, however if there is no response from the server this command just hangs.

Regards

I have used the ping -w option and this timeout works, however I would like to check if the server is responsive. To this I will use rsh.

Thx

You can use ping as,

ping localhost -n 1 -m 5

where -m option is used to give timeout option. Default it is with 10 seconds.
-n option is used to give ping count

Just be aware that options to ping vary wildly between Unix flavours.

Please post the output of uname -a

Cheers
