Script to send something via UDP and intercept at other end?
I am looking to do a shell script that can send something simple via UDP from server 1 - to server 2
I want to be able to see on server 2 that I received everything expected..
ie.. I am looking at this to avoid using ping / traceroute to highlight network issues.. if a UDP packet gets lost then it would be clear there is an issue somewhere in the network
Could I send something like hello over various UDP packets - and if I only receive helo on the other end i know I lost a packet...
I know I am saying this very simplistically - and I sure it wouldnt be easy to script but looking for help all the same...

script-email
SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
