Can I monitor how many connections are in TIME_WAIT for a specific port

That's not sufficient. I have to go into the process and connect to it. But we think it may be exasperating the problem.

I'm watching how many connections we have in ports, but I'm also running my expect script test. What I'm thinking now, is tying them together. If we see it having trouble in ports, there's no reason to run the expect script.

Hi,
       We are monitoring a particular port that we are having issues
with. 8022, it's a proxy port for HP NA.

       Anyway, I have an expect script that goes in and tests the
functionality of the port. But when it starts to go bad, this script
get stuck in TIME_WAIT, along with the users connecting to the port.

why not use ssh:8022:s in hosts.cfg ?

       So, can I look at the port data before I try connecting, and
if there are a bunch of TIME_WAIT connections, just skip the test
entirely?

       I'm running the test from the xymon server, so I was thinking
of pulling the data out of xymon directly. Would that by xymoncmd?

Thanks,
Paul.
