Am I correct in assuming that your 'testconnection.asp is a homegrown asp? Can I just replace that with a:
Send=GET www.somewebpage.com HTTP/1.0\r\n I don't know what your testconnection.asp does. --Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Howard Jones Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 7:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Scripting in Whats Up Gold Meyer, Bruce wrote: > I need to be able to write a script to WUG that will telnet to port > 80, and check if WebMail on Exchange 5.5 is allowing a full login, and > displaying the page. > > I can handle writing the script (Looks like a version of Expect) Has > anyone ever done this with positive results? We use something like this to check whether a particular customer site is getting ADODB errors on their e-commerce site. It was a bit finicky to get working, but it does work for us now. Ours looks like: Send=GET /utils/testconnection.asp HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.blahblah.co.uk\r\n\r\n Expect=~Connection OK (damn wordwrap - the Send is one line) The 'Connection OK' is within the HTML of the returned page. This all goes into a TCP/IP service in the Monitoring library. Unfortunately, if you want to do it for many servers, you need one-per-server, as the hostname needs to be hard-coded in there. It's a shame that the Arguments for a service aren't passed over (as far as I know, anyway). > Also, I had read in a couple places that Whats Up Professional, > Ipswitch removed scripting abilities.

From memory, there is an SDK with Pro to allow you to build your own monitioring plugins, but it's no longer free, and it's an COM-based solution, so you'd need to have experience with a COM-capable language. That could include perl though, aside from the usual VB & friends. Have fun! Howie Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
