(RADIATOR) Silly question.

[Utku Er]

Hi, 
If your main concern is to restart if radius is not replying rather than only *knowing* if its up, 
you can write a script using radpwtst like below *on* the radiator server and put it to cron. radpwtst is really a useful tool... If you want only to report the downtime or uptime, its a different story...
------------------------
root#cat testradius.sh
#!/bin/sh

#see if its up and running
if ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep radiusd > /dev/null
 then echo donothing > /dev/null
 else /etc/init.d/radiator restart
fi

#see if its actually replying
if /usr/bin/radpwtst -secret yoursecret -noacct -user heartbeat -password heartbeat | grep "No reply" > /dev/null
 then /etc/init.d/radiator restart
fi
exit

  Hi there.

  I been testing a network monitoring program. It cans test radius servers, 
  but I neet to "talk" to radiator to be able to see if it's down or not.

  For example you can test if a certain server has the http service up just 
  "teleneting" it in the 80 port like this:

  telnet machine.at.some.domain 80

  then you write

  HEAD / HTTP1.0^^

  and if the service is up it will tell you something like:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  how can I achieve almos the same behavior talking with radiator?.

  PD: I know (of course) radiator is UDP based, but I still think maybe there 
  is a way to talk to it.


  Thanks in advance for the help.
