What is portservice for then?
I would like to use stg to check whether a given TCP port on a given host is accessible/open, or not, exactly the way I use telnet, may or may not it mean anything for others :)
No conversation, just to check the "connected" status. If I can do any conversation, I can use some more specific plugin, like SMTP, postgres, mysql, ssh, or whatever else.
Anyway, I have tried to setup several portservices on another agent (same RHQ cluster) too - and none was ever successful there either.
There are proprietary, and well known port/services (like http over 8080, or ssh on a non standard port) among them.
