UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am running certain weblogic instance, in which it's hard to find which instance is stopped or running after stopping the weblogic , cause process status is for all the instance is same.
A URL which shows the instance is stopped or running.
But i have major challenge to check it through unix, cause it's having the port number and ping is not supporting it.
is not working for me.
Any other command does do the same job to check .

Thanks

ping is ICMP, not related at all to ordinary TCP network connections.

Since it's a URL, try wget:

Code:

if wget -q http://server:port -O /dev/null
then
        echo "server:port is alive"
else
        echo "server:port is dead"
fi

Correct.
Or use --spider with wget:

Code:

       --spider
           When invoked with this option, Wget will behave as a Web spider, which means that it will not download the pages, just check that they are there.
