Link to zipped executable file>>> . I need to ensure one windows host always see other host's specific port and we already had zabbix. I was searching solutions and found one with telnet but it was very complex dos programming to get back number besides telnet would be security breach. That was secure system and I need to ensure packets could always be processed, so to monitor server availability from zabbix server was not solution because host was in DMZ and it needs permanent connection to another server in internet. From unix it is pretty simply to write shell application I annoyed to our programmer about my problem and he did a brilliant solution, he just made little application which returns 1 if remote port is available or 0 if it is not. Utility is simple- just write remote host address space and port. It returns 1 after 3 seconds, some servers won't accept connection at once so I think it is a great tool. From command line you write
