Rob, Oops, I missed that in the post. I do like your version though. Rick -----Original Message----- From: rob@dekko.com [mailto:rob@dekko.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:54 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: Ping via FTP? Rick, Actually I am rather fond of the simplicity of: PING RMTSYS(NOTESFAX) MSGMODE(*QUIET *ESCAPE) MONMSG MSGID(TCP3210 TCP3202 TCP3213) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(ALERT)) However, the poster stated that the remote sites are blocking ping, so neither approaches help.

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 -- _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
