# conn

quick and dirty server availability check <br> <br>
basically just a way too complex wrapper for nmap and fping <br>

### features: 
- ~~multi-input detection~~ (not needed anymore since the rewrite)
- ~~ipv4 input detection~~ (not needed anymore since the rewrite)
- ~~ipv6 input detection~~ (not needed anymore since the rewrite)
- waiting for availability
- send notification on availability
- updater built in

# usage
Usage: conn <args> [IP(s)/hostname(s)] <br>
Options: <br>
  -h / --help       show help page (this) <br>
  -6 / --force-ipv6 force ipv6 portscanning (also forces portscanning) <br>
  -4 / --force-ipv4 force ipv4 portscanning (also forces portscanning) <br>
  -y / --yes        portscan without asking <br>
  -n / --no         dont portscan <br>
  -w / --wait       wait for active connection <br>
  -u / --update     update the script <br>
  -f / --fast       disable os check <br>
  -s / --simple     simplify output <br>

# installation
1. download the script: <br>
```bash
wget https://git.byreqz.de/byreqz/conn/raw/branch/main/conn.sh
```
2. run it with <br>
``
bash conn.sh
``
or <br>
``
chmod +x conn.sh && ./conn.sh
``
3. optionally alias it <br>
``alias conn="~/conn.sh"``

# sample output
```bash
./conn.sh nils.lol
checking connection status for nils.lol
