Snoop Script

[tafil]

hi all,
i want to make a script that use the snoop command to check if there is traffic on port 123 ip address 10.*.*.* if they is traffic it is okay if not the script should send a e-mail.
I make this but i want to make it better.
Does anybody have any idea or any sample script?

This is what i did

if [ `snoop -c 50 -p 23 10.*.*.* 10.*.*.* | awk '/TELNET/ {print $8}'` ]
then
echo "OK"
else
echo "Is not working (send mail)"
fi


Thanks in advance

I'm not sure there's much improvement needed. I can't see the need for awk though. Maybe

if snoop -c 50 -p 23 "10.*.*.*" "10.*.*.*" | grep -q TELNET 
then
  echo OK
else
  echo It\'s Broken | mail -s "no telnet on port 23" Me@myserver
fi

Do you even need grep? snoop has built-in filter expressions...
