Thanks, Markus, maybe we should add this to the admin_manual? However I 
am now getting the error 'script: Fatal: Missing script path'

Similar as when I try via the command line
bash-5.0# /usr/libexec/dovecot/script -e  /bin/health-check.sh
Fatal: Missing script path


bash-5.0# /usr/libexec/dovecot/script -e  /bin/ health-check.sh
Panic: BUG: No IOs or timeouts set. Not waiting for infinity.
Aborted (core dumped)

Hi,

you can use telnet or netcat to send input to that port and receive the 
answer.

echo "PING" | nc localhost 5001

Best regards

Markus
