Script to check connectivity

kukretiabhi13 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-17-2008

I want to write a script to check if a unix box say abc.tdc.cin.net can be connected or not on certain port say 22. right know i have to telnet them manually from DOS prompt and if it is successful then isay it is connected.

Also to check Database connectivity I am using tnsping From DOS prompt.
i need some guidance like should the script be written shell or perl and what commands will be helpful to do that. I have like 40 DB and 20 Unix boxes which i need to check daily.

So, you want to check it from windows box?

Check if you have nmap on one of your boxes - it can check if the IP address is reachable and you can also check which/if ports are up. Not sure if you get that for Windows.. maybe with cygwin.
