The Software | |
Reverse lookup utility | |
| This software will help you do reverse lookups of IP-adresses. Have you ever received an e-mail that you wanted to trace? Have you wanted to know wich machines are on a given network? RLOOK is the tool for you! | |
Syntax:
RLOOK <ip-address1> [<count>|<ip-address2>] [<stepping>]
Where <ip-address1> is the address to lookup.
Given either a <count> representing a number of continues addresses to process
or
a <ip-address2> specifying the last address to process,
RLOOK.EXE
will do a reverse lookup of contiguous ip-address ranges.
If a value for <stepping> is given, this is used as an increment.
Example:
RLOOK 192.168.0.0
RLOOK 192.168.0.0 128
RLOOK 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.255 2
The first alternative just do a reverse lookup of 192.168.0.0.The second starts with address 192.168.0.0, lookup this adress and the continues with the next 128 addresses. The last alternative starts with address 192.168.0.0 and stops at address 192.168.0.255 and looksup every second address. |

DNS lookup utility | |
| This is the squal to the RLOOK utility.... | |
| This software was originally created for a VPN environment where the clients didn't have access to the internal DNS Servers and still wanted to be able do use hostsnames. The solution to the problem was to create a central hosts file and download it to the cleints upon connect. This was when we created this software. | |
Syntax:
FLOOK <host> [[<alias>] <default>]
Where <host> is the hostname to lookup,
<alias> is an alias adress to use
and
<default> is the default value to use if lookup doesn't succed.
<alias> and/or <default> could be an ip-addresses or a hostname.
Example:
FLOOK myhost.mydomain.com
RLOOK myhost.mydomain.com yourhost.yourdomain.com
RLOOK myhost.mydomain.com badhost.mydomain.com 192.168.0.1
RLOOK localhost 127.0.0.1
The first alternative just outputs the ip-adress for myhost.mydomain.com and the hostname myhost.mydomain.com.The second outputs the ipaddress for yourhost.yourdomain.com and the hostname myhost.mydomain.com. The Third tries to lookup the ip address for badhost.mydomain.com. If it succeeds it outputs the ipaddress for badhost.mydomain.com and the hostname myhost.mydomain.com. If the lookup of badhost.mydomain.com fails, it will output the ipaddress 192.168.0.1 and the hostname myhost.mydomain.com. The last alternativ outputs the ipaddress 127.0.0.1 and the hostname localhost. There is actually no DNS lookup done |
|
| All output is sent to std-oud. This makes it easy to use this utilityn in a script. This script can the be started at regular intervals producing a hosts file for thos machines not able to use DNS. If the lookup succeeds errorlevel 0 is returned. upon failure errorlevel 1 or greater is returned. | |

Mail Server Que Release Utility | |
| This utility sends a ETRN command to a chosen mailserver releasing a specified que. This is one of the standards dequing mail during dialup connections. | |
Syntax:
ETRN <mailserver> <quename>
Where mailserver specifies the ip-address or the FQDN for a mailserver
and
quename specifies the name of the que to release.
Example:
ETRN mailbox.dom.org [192.168.0.1]
This will send an ETRN command to the server
mailbox.dom.org
telling it to release the que with internal name [192.168.0.1].

TCP Service Check | |
| This utility makes a TCP connection to a service on a given server, validate the communication and raise an errorlevel. | |
| This can be used in batch files to monitor server function over a network or over the internet. | |
Syntax:
TCPCHK <protocol> <server> [<que name>|<url>|<port>]
Where protocol,
at the current state,
can be one of
SMTP,
HTTP,
HTTP1.1,
PROXY,
POP3,
FTP,
NNTP
or
ETRN.Server specifies a FQDN or an IP-address of a server. In case of an SMTP command, port can be used to identify non-standard ports other than 25. In case of an PROXY command, server specifies the PROXY server and url is the page to fetch. In case of an ETRN command, que name specifies a que to release. Example1:
TCPCHK HTTP www.domain.org
This will try to fetch the file robots.txt from the web server www.whitehouse.gov.
In case of success or an error 404, errorlevel 0 is returned.
Example2:
TCPCHK PROXY 192.168.0.1 www.microsoft.com
This will try to fetch the default document from microsoft.com via the proxy 192.168.0.1
In case of success (302) errorlevel 0 is returned.

Windows/NT Service Check Utility | |
| This ultility makes a connection to the Service Control Manager on a given Windows/NT computer and queries the status of a given service. Depending on the service state an errorlevel is raised | |
| This can be used in batch files to monitor Windows/NT serveices over a network. | |
Syntax:
SRVCHK <service> [<server>]
Where service is the Windows/NT generic service name.Server specifies the computer where to query the service. If omitted the local computer is used. Example:
SRVCHK lanmanserver
This will connect to the local computers Service Control Manager
and query the status of the lanmanserver (server) service.Returns:
Errorlevel 0 - The service is running
Errorlevel 1 - The service is pending continue
Errorlevel 2 - The service is pending start
Errorlevel 3 - The service is pendign pause
Errorlevel 4 - The service is pending stop
Errorlevel 5 - The service is paused
Errorlevel 6 - The service is stopped
Errorlevel 101 - Unable to connect
Errorlevel 102 - Unable to open service
Errorlevel 103 - Unable to query
Errorlevel 200 - syntax error

Command line POP3 reader | |
| Current version 0.6.0 Beta | |
| This command line utility reads POP3 mail from a POP3 server. The mail is sent to standard output (stdout) device making it possible to pipe the mail to a file or read it on screen. | |
Syntax:
POPGET <server> <username> <password> [#msg] [-delete] [-nodisplay] [-header]
Where server is the hostname or the ip-address of the POP3 server to read from.Username is the POP3 login username. Password is the POP3 password for the username specified as the second parameter. #msg specifies the message number to read. If this is omitted the first message is read. -delete deletes the message after it's read. -nodisplay doesn't read the message. Used to delete unwanted messages. -header doesn't read the message just dispaly the headers. Example:
POPGET my.mailserver.com john.smith secret 3 -delete >message3.txt
This will connect to the POP3 server my.mailserver.com with thew username john.smith and the password secret.
Then it will retreive the third message.
The output will be piped to the file message3.txt.Returns:
Errorlevel 0 - The message was retreived
Errorlevel 1 - Error retreiving message
