Installation guide

Note
If an external program is entered in the Sending Program field, then the Send field is
ignored.
Send
Enter a string for the nanny daemon to send to each real server in this field. By default the
send field is completed for HTTP. You can alter this value depending on your needs. If you
leave this field blank, the nanny daemon attempts to open the port and assume the service is
running if it succeeds.
Only one send sequence is allowed in this field, and it can only contain printable, ASCII
characters as well as the following escape characters:
\n for new line.
\r for carriage return.
\t for tab.
\ to escape the next character which follows it.
Expect
Enter a the textual response the server should return if it is functioning properly. If you wrote
your own sending program, enter the response you told it to send if it was successful.
Note
To determine what to send for a given service, you can open a telnet connection to
the port on a real server and see what is returned. For instance, FT P reports 220 upon
connecting, so could enter quit in the Send field and 220 in the Expect field.
