Hi all,

So I come up with a suggestion: be able to check if a specific port is
reachable for the client standpoint. Socket connection can be done via
the bb utility. [picky servers like mysql would be handled differently].
I have some cases like that in my production environment. What I've done
is to simply install the full Hobbit server on these nodes, and disable
all tasks except the client- and networktest-tasks.
That could do the trick, but what I had in mind is a task installed on
almost every host.

We're working on a sample perl-based implementation. If it proves
useful, we'll be glad to port it to C and have it included into hobbit
as a standard status report.


Regards,
