Check server status remotely with a perl script
Authored by: rschwarz on Mar 01, '06 12:17:01PM
Thank you foilpan for your additional information on the usage of nc. Although I looked up the man page, it was not instantly clear to me, that this can be done so easily.

You can also set the timeout with the -w option. This is useful to me, since I don't want to wait a minute or so until netcat aborts.
