Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

Can somebody help me with this script. I have an output file with a list of servers ips and ports. I need to be able to run this script to list all the server ips in the outfile and find out if the port is open or not.

#!/bin/sh

IFS=#;for i in $(cat portTest);

do
# check for open ports #

connTest=`echo " " | telnet $i`

if [ "`echo $connTest | awk '{ print $3 }` " = "Connected" ]
then

echo "$connTest port is up"

else

echo "$connTest port is down"

fi
done


The output i am getting now is this

148.xxx.xx.89 44441
148.xxx.xx.92 44441
148.xxx.xx.95 44441
148.xxx.xx.98 44441
148.xxx.xx.101 44441
148.xxx.xx.104 44441
148.xxx.xx.107 44441 port is down

Can somebody pls tell me what i am doing wrong. I've searched the thread and couldn't find anything that is remotely similar. Please note i don't need to specify a username or password.

Thanks for all your help

something similar.

Suggestion debuging script would be easeier if you add
set -vx
below #!/bin/sh

hope this will help you find you were wrong
