tcping does a TCP connect to the given ip/port combination.
|
|
The user can specify a timeout in seconds.
|
|
This is useful in shell scripts running in firewalled environments.
|
|
Often SYNs are just being dropped by firewalls,
|
|
thus connection establishment will be retried several times
|
|
(for minutes) until a TCP timeout is reached.
|
|
With tcping it is possible to check first if the desired port
|
|
is reachable and then start connection establishment.
