I want to create script wherein it will check the application if its running. The command that I'll be using to check the application is telnet (if you can recommend others, that's ok).
I've an application and it is listening to port 1808. If I do telnet localhost 1808, the response is :
Code:
[root@test ~]# telnet localhost 1808
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
What I want to happen is if the response is like to code above, it will execute a commands. Obviously, above code knows that the application is not working so I need to execute a commands. I created a script before using expect but I don't think it will work because I haven't establish a shell yet unlike successful telnet I could spawn expect.
Any advise from a guru here?
