php server status page?

although shoutcast is active but not showing correctly...

ports 8000 and 8001..

any ideas?

nope, actually mysql and shoutcast isnt reporting correctly.. any idea?

You should note that the ports shown on that list are only defaults; they may not be the same on your server.

Also, shoutcast is (as far as I know; I'm no expert in this area) a datagram protocol. That is to say, it's connectionless. This method won't work with it. I'm not entirely sure how one would check a datagram service. Perhaps send a packet and see if it responds?

oh ok, stupid question, how would i know what port the mysql server is using?

Cheers

Hummps, I guess I'm always step ahead of the question, of course I stand corrected, but I was thinking more about checking if daemons are running of course, not port scan.

If you don't specify it when you connect, it's the default.

Checking if the port is open is probably one of the easiest ways of checking if the daemon is running. Failing that (and if the script was running on the same machine, which we know is not the case, thus rendering this approach impossible), it may be necessary to look for the daemon's lock file. However, Perl is not required, and indeed I can think of very few cases where Perl would be required over PHP (although the job may at times be made easier by a module).
