Hi Benjamin Yes its a problem with what the script is doing. I got the script to log what its receiving and doing, and I see that the correct arguments are sent and with the correct sequence.

Yes its working, its a DNS check.
I just generalised it for posting here, it what happens when the dns service that its contacting, isn't running or failed.
