Test remote TCP port

[L.M.J]

Hi,

  I would like to monitor some special TCP port from my hobbit server. Since those port are not famous at
all, I quickly oriented my choice on a hping related tool. I've found "bbhping.sh" which runs only for BB.
Any ideas for something similar who could help me to determine in the host, via a "TCP ping", is up or not
please ?
