Checking if Remote Service is running....

[javaguru007]

We have a remote server that is running a certain service, we want to check remotely if the service is running or not without using rsh or ssh... thanks..

Depending on what service you could try:
telnet hostname XX
where XX is a port number eg. http is 80 and pop3 is 110. This should give you some sort of header back.

YOu can use something like nmap to do a port scan, or I think netstat can be run against another computer.

If you know the system is running the portmapper service (most are by default) then you can interrogate it with: rpcinfo -p [host]|grep [service]/[port]
