This line is quite good. What is tcp[13] == 2? Ok, you are checking for
SYN flag.
But you want to look at outgoing connection requests which netstat
may not help you out with.
I don't have knowledge of network and netstat would not help me that
is why I used the first and foremost of the connection establishment
packet.
Pardon my ignorance.
So firefox might have a timeout to identify connection outage.
sure it has. but how and where do I detect/recognise it from within a script?
I want to know what you really mean by "tracking unavailability from a
user perspective".
through a script / inotify / auditd
The browser tab itself clearly says that the site is down. What more
do you need?
Indeed, if a human is sitting in front of it. But a human can Lie and
in IMHO Audit/SLA hard data is generally relied on which can only be
captured, again imho, by script / inotify / auditd or some such
mechanism.
In fact there are several tcp* utilities in UNIX for looking at outgoing
TCP connection requests. You can look at them perhaps.
Could you kindly help me with pointers?
Thanks for your kind reply
