Adds a TCP port ping: ipx --ping --port N times a TCP connect to the port each round, for networks where ICMP is blocked or ping is not installed.

  • Live line per probe: reply (port open), port closed (RST) (host up, port closed) or timeout.
  • Ends with a clear verdict: ✔ Port ping OK, ! partly OK, ! Host is up, port closed or ✘ FAILED. Exit status is 0 only if the port answered as open.
  • TCP only (-U gives an error); no system ping needed.

Also in this build since 1.0.0: nc-style --port check, -l PORT listener, -U, silent --live with q to quit, -o/--output, no TCP trace.

Install: tar xzf ipx-1.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz && sudo install ipx-1.3.0-linux-amd64/ipx /usr/local/bin/
