[Xymon] Can I monitor how many connections are in TIME_WAIT for a specific port

Hi, We are monitoring a particular port that we are having issues with. 8022, it's a proxy port for HP NA.

    Anyway, I have an expect script that goes in and tests the functionality of the port. But when it starts to go bad, this script get stuck in TIME_WAIT, along with the users connecting to the port.

    So, can I look at the port data before I try connecting, and if there are a bunch of TIME_WAIT connections, just skip the test entirely?

    I'm running the test from the xymon server, so I was thinking of pulling the data out of xymon directly. Would that by xymoncmd?

Thanks, Paul.
