David, If all you're concerned is if there is a service listening on a particular port, simply opening the connection and sending "quit" should be sufficient. I do this for several grid-related services on our LVS cluster.
If you want to actually make sure that the service is listening *and* giving back meaningful responses, you're on your own. ;-) Cheers, Dan David Dyer-Bennet wrote: > I've so far failed googling this (for the obvious reason; what Microsoft > web services people call "tcp" isn't what you mostly find on the web > googling that term).
