Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide

Pinging a Calendar Service

To verify that a service is listening on a specified port number, use the cstool utility ping command. Pinging a service does not verify that a service is actually running but indicates if it can accept a socket connection.

Service Options for cstool

The Calendar Server service options are:

http

HTTP Service (cshttpd)

admin

Administration Service (csadmind)

ens

Event Notification Service (enpd)


Note –

You cannot ping the DWP service (csdwpd), or Notification Service (csnotifyd).


cstool Example

For example, to ping the machine with the host name calserver to see if the cshttpd service is listening on port 80:

cstool -p 80 -h calserver ping http

By default, cstool waits 120 seconds for a response; however, you can change by value by using the -t timeout option.

For the complete utility reference material, refer to Appendix D, Calendar Server Command-Line Utilities Reference.


Note –

To run cstool, Calendar Server must be running.
