All of us wish to profile our code or even utilities. Not always but in rare cases where timeliness is of essence.
Just do this. How long does a DNS query take? $ time dig yahoo.com What about mx query? $ time dig +short yahoo.com mx Actually for us to use the mx we have to query the a record of the mx pointer which is actually a domain name. In general monitoring is necessary to know whether a daemon is constantly running. To do that I use monit though mon also may be useful. I will send a separate mail. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
