I am looking for a command line utility that will "ping" a port such as 80
(http) or 21 (ftp) and report whether the URL is responding or not.
I am quite familiar with Ipsentry, Enterprise Monitor, WhatsUp, etc. But
those are all windows based programs (I need commandline) and I want to
parse the response into another program.
Mike
