 Hello . . .

 Looking for a *simple* protocol monitoring solution to test connectivity of
 various facets of a system, i.e. HTTP / HTTPS / POP3 / SMTP etc. I am not
 looking, and don't want to install a *heavy* application like Nagios etc,
 but rather something much more simple.

 I have seen checkservice (/usr/ports/sysutils/checkservice) in the past and
 that looked quite simple to implement. Another question is there anything
 more preferred that checkservice that anyone knows about?

 Thank you in advance for any direction.

For a simple service/system monitor, monit may suit your needs.

Hi,

Nagios uses perl scripts to check tcp services, you could use them 
instead of a complete installation.

Does tcpdump do what you need?  It's pretty slim (makes Wireshark look
huge by comparison) and easily scripted (since it's a command line tool).

I was always a fan of Wireshark (ex Etherial). It's lightweight
(in comparison to e. g. Nagios), GUI-based and very comfortable.
