style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:navy'>I was wondering if
anyone would know if it is possible to monitor a few things on a HP-UX system
without installing anything on the server? We are unable to install anything,
plugins, apps etc on the server, it’s a production server. Below is a
description of the general requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:navy'>- What I'd like to see is some way to have it connect to the
specified port, read the banner and then just abort the connection. The purpose
of this is that perhaps the Nagios system could read the banner response it
gets, and if it is not what it's expected, or fails to receive a banner/login
prompt, send an alert.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
