Hmm. I've been scolded for this one a few times, for various reasons. They all seem to come down to added flexibility, and saner behavior in scripts. I'm not sure I agree for the simple use case of "check by hand to see if a port is listening" though. I'd be curious to see if anyone else has a better answer. -- Corey _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
