All,
below is a code snipet from the doc of net ping. AFAIK, this is suppose to test if www port is open (listening).
$p = Net::Ping->new("tcp", 2);
# Try connecting to the www port instead of the echo port
$p->{port_num} = getservbyname("http", "tcp");
#while ($stop_time > time())
#{
print "$host not reachable ", scalar(localtime()), "\n"
unless $p->ping($host);
sleep(300);
#}
undef($p);
I tried using this, but it seems to fail. I changed "www" to ssh and telnet. I ran it on a host that should have failed. Anyone knows what this did not fail?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
