tcping does a TCP connect to the given ip/port
|
|
|
|
|
combination. The user can specify a timeout in seconds. This
|
|
|
|
|
is useful in shell scripts running in firewalled
|
|
|
|
|
environments. Often SYNs are just being dropped by
|
|
|
|
|
firewalls, thus connection establishment will be retried
|
|
|
|
|
several times (for minutes) until a TCP timeout is
|
|
|
|
|
reached. With tcping it is possible to check first if the
|
|
|
|
|
desired port is reachable and then start connection
|
|
|
|
|
establishment.
