I need to check that some external FTP servers are running. (FWIW, various EDI FTP servers over an ANX connection). However, the routers and firewalls block ping requests. >From the command line, I can do an FTP 'w.x.y.z' and look at the resulting screen, it usually says "Welcome ..." or "Connection failed." That's all I would need to see, then F3 to exit the session. If I get a Connection failed, then I could send emails to our shippers and IT folks up the line. Is there an easy way to capture/parse the connection messages? I want to schedule this type of job to run every 10-15 minutes. pgm ftp 'blah' /* look through the ftp logs */ /* if the first output is Connection to host failed... */ snddst... endpgm Thanks, Loyd
