TMSS10Ping

Command line programs are executed via a Command Line Prompt or via a batch file. They cannot be executed by double clicking or right click run

Synopsis

TMSS10Ping [-n count] [-P port] host

Description

TMSS10Ping sends dummy packets to a TapeTrack Framework Server and receives a reply packet.

Unlike the ping command which sends ICMP echo packets, TMSS10Ping sends payload packets via the TCP/IP protocol. This means that even if a firewall is configured to block ping requests, if TapeTrack connections are allowed, then TMSS10Ping packets will be successful.

Options

The options which apply to the TMSS10Ping command are:

  • -n This option sets the number of test packets to send to an Integer (default=4).
  • -P This option sets the TCP/IP port to an Integer (default=5000).
  • host Host name or dotted IP address of the TapeTrack Framework Server.

Exit Status

  1. zero Program has ended successfully.
  2. non-zero Program was unable to connect to the TapeTrack Framework Server.

Environment

Files

  • stdout Program messages indicating statistics from ping.

Examples

This example tests a TapeTrack connection on port 443.

<sxh> C:\>TMSS10Ping -P 443 tapetrack.ironmountain.com 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=1 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=2 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=3 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=4 time=57.00 ms — tapetrack.ironmountain.com TMSS10Ping statistics — 4 packets transmitted

round-trip min/avg/max = 0.00/57.75/58.00 ms </sxh> This example sends an email if a TapeTrack Server is down.

<sxh bash;> #!/bin/bash TMSS10Ping -P 443 tapetrack.ironmountain.com > /dev/null [ $? -ne 0 ]; then sendmail ….. fi </sxh>

This example sends ping request via a proxy server, creates a trace file and displays the trace file.

<sxh bash;> set PROXYIP=192.168.1.10 set PROXYPORT=3128 set PROXYUSER= set PROXYPW= set TAPETRACKIP=server.databank.co.il set TAPETRACKPORT=443 set TMSSAPILOGDIR=%TEMP% set TMSSSERVERPROXY=%PROXYUSER%:-%PROXYPW%@%PROXYIP%:%PROXYPORT% del /Q “%TMSSAPILOGDIR%\TMSSAPILOG-*.txt” TMSS10Ping -P %TAPETRACKPORT% %TAPETRACKIP% type “%TMSSAPILOGDIR%\TMSSAPILOG-*.txt” pause </sxh>
