Monitor THANKS telnet response of web server

[rferebee]

Yes, I get TCP OK back.

And if Scott's suggestion works, I recommend trying with just "You" instead of "You're", just to avoid any quoting issues, at least for testing purposes. It's possible that the listserv could give you a different response that happens to start with "You", but this wouldn't be standard behavior.

It's still timing out if just use "You" instead of "You're welcome!"

I'm still waiting for another suggestion from Scott.

Try with an explicitly-escaped return in your message:

./check_tcp -v -H listserv.ip.addr -E -p 2306 -s "thanks\r\n" -e You --quit=quit


This worked for me just now against a listserv server that was timing out like yours did.

Yes! That worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

Can you explain to me what the various switches do? -E and "thanks\r\n"

Just for my own knowledge.
