Hi All,

I have a question that might be off-topic for this list, but then again maybe not. How 
can i tell
if a given sshd process is serving ssh? Other than trying to connect to it, that is.

This situation i'm trying to work with is like this: There is sshd running on a box, 
and there is
a script watching to make sure that it's running. But if someone logs in via ssh, 
another sshd
process gets spawned for that connection. If that person were to somehow kill the sshd 
server
process (the parent of the spawned sshd) then s/he could continue on with the 
connection but
nobody else would be able to get in. The watchdog would not know this because it would 
see a sshd
in the process list, which is all it is checking for. But i would like it to be able 
to check if
the sshd that it's seeing in the process list is actually serving ssh or if it is not 
serving ssh.

Does that question make sense?

Thanks,
j
