Doing it in a general, reliable way with bash alone would be very difficult, but if it's a local server that always responds fast or not at all, you could try something like this: #! /bin/bash case "$( (sleep 5; echo quit) | telnet 192.168.0.20 25 2>&- )" in *' 220 '*) echo Success ;; *) echo Failed ;; esac -- Tapani Tarvainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
