I have some scripts running on a linux box and then an interface running on Windows. The scripts handle live data and establish persistent connections. I want to use my interface to check the status of the scripts and just see if they are actively running...

At the moment the interface does a full TCP connect to the scripts to do this but is it not possible to do ping that specific port and see if it is available or some other method of checking it without a full connect?
