Since you specify monitor, on local or remote workstation(if i interpret your message right.) Then you can use:
**Pping** http://www.blazen.com/pping It's a TCP port pinger where the output is similar to ping. example: <file> $ pping localhost 22 [1] localhost(127.0.0.1):22 ... [ctime=3.993ms] accepting connections. ----------- localhost:22 PPING Stats ---------- 1 attempts, 1 connections, 0 failures, 0% failure rate connect time (ms) min/avg/max 3.993/3.993/3.993 </file> As you can see above, it can ping ssh, smtp, http or even https! really cool because you can script and do monitoring with this simple program. it comes in *one* c source code and a makefile, and the result compilation is just 1 binary! Personally verified to work with Linux, Solaris and Cygwin. Newer version of the software allows you to fetch a website, do a recursive DNS (if a website has multiple ip address), and shows you the rate/xfer time in kbs. You can also use this to check if an SMTP server is relaying or not. etc. Been using this for years and so far, have not seen any bugs or problems using it. regards, Andre On 8/18/05, private <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > How do you monitor the ports it is using in a specific local remote > workstation in Linux?
