Summary : Check of TCP connection to a given IP/Port
URL : http://www.linuxco.de/tcping/tcping.html
License : LGPLv3+
Description : tcping does a TCP connect to the given ip/port combination. The user can
: specify a timeout in seconds. This is useful in shell scripts running in
: firewalled environments. Often SYNs are just being dropped by firewalls,
: thus connection establishment will be retried several times (for minutes)
: until a TCP timeout is reached. With tcping it is possible to check first
: if the desired port is reachable and then start connection establishment.
