telnet of all the possible ways is probably the least useful for this, as you can't set a timeout properly, nor get a meaningful, parseable output. Better would be
Installing nmap
If that's not possible using netcat/nc, installing it if possible
If that's not possible using the socket feature newer versions of bash support
And only if nothing of these is useable resort to telnet
Example of how easy it's with netcat/nc:
My server is a production server and I can't installing anything, for I am not the admin and it requires approvals.
Would someone help me with the correct netstat script to figure which ports are connecting and which are not.
