Hi all, I have a question about dbiProxy We have a dbiproxy server set up on a windows machine with about 22 ports (since windows doesn't fork) and a RUMBA connection to an AS/400 machine with DB2 on it. We're using the proxy to connect to the DB2 from a linux box so we can pull data for analytics. That works pretty well, but...I need a better way to find out if a port is available. Right now, I have some code which will do a quick SQL rowcount through a port, and if I don't get a response in a few seconds I consider the port either busy or dead. It's not a very good system, though, and it's hard to tell what the actual status of a port is. Does anyone know if there are any commands you can use to find out if a port is open, or in use? Ideally, I'd like to know if a port is open or not, and if it is currently being used by another process. Any help would be appreciated.
