RE: {bb} test if a BB client can telnet to another box on a specific TCP port

["Jasper Filon" <jasper.filon@ritstele.com>]

You will have to write a custom testing script for this, because you have to run the test on saturn. Check the appropite piece in the manuall about writing your own tests.

Jasper

Hi Henrik, 

Not sure I explained myself properly, here...

BB server = jupiter
BB client = saturn
other box = venus

I would like jupiter to display if saturn can telnet to venus on port
1234...

Cheers

Loris

The BB network tester will do this nicely. Say you have a service called
"flub" running on port 5162 on the host "blob"; to test this you must setup
an entry in bb-hosts

   10.1.2.3  blob   # flub:5162:s

AND you must add the "flub" service to the BBNETSVCS setting, so that BB
knows it is a network test - to do that, edit 
$BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh and change the BBNETSVCS to include the word "flub".

The ":s" at the end of the bb-hosts entry means that BB will just connect to
the port, but not send anything - without the ":s", BB will send a "QUIT" to
the remote service.
