Isn't that what the negate check is for?

Hello,
I am trying to implement the check_tcp command to monitor if a
specific port is closed on a host, and not open. This page
https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/man/check_tcp.html has a few
options which I've tried, with zero success, including:
-r and -M and -e
Basically, if the check can not connect to the port, that is the
intended result. I am getting socket timeouts when I try the following
from the nagios box itself to the host:
./check_tcp -H $HOST -p 8079 -r crit
CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
./check_tcp -H $HOST -p 8079 -e "CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10
seconds"
CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
./check_tcp -H $HOST -p 8079 -M crit
Can you put me in the right direction for getting this to work?
Thank you,
Brandon
