# Ping TCP port with tcping

tcping is a tool that allows to verify reachability of TCP port.

The purpose of this tool is to allow for a monitoring of reachability 

of specific service on remote (or local) host.

Unlike standard ping, fping or hping, this tool uses simple TCP 

connection to verify if port is listening and is agnostic of application 

protocols etc.

Each check will simply open a connection and if successful it will 

immediately close it. While some applications may not like this, most 

will handle this will and will not cause any significant resource 

consumption.

####  Get it

Currently: to start using this you will need Go language compiler, 

which you can get from [golang.org](https://golang.org/).

Compilation:

```sh

# go get -u -v -x github.com/akamensky/tcping

```

Installation:

```sh

# mv ~/go/bin/tcping /usr/local/bin/tcping

```

#### Use it

Simple use case:

```

# tcping -s www.github.com -p 443

```

For more detailed usage information check included help message:

```

# tcping -h

```

#### Know it

Currently `tcping` does DNS resolution for every check. This allows 

to test systems that are spread across multiple servers and see it 

more from user perspective.
