SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

nsmon is a program which can check your servers which are connected to the internet/intranet via TCP/IP. The checks are the following: ping and port check. Ping check is a simple 5 ICMP echo with a timout. Port check is a simple connect(2) via TCP socket. If one of the checks was unsuccessfull nsmon sends a mail to the admin of that host which was wrong.
