    Hi All,

    Is there a way to use NMap to do a continuous tcp
    ping of a particular port?  I am only after the
    response time


Hi Todd. You would generally use our nping utility for that. It comes with Nmap. Here's an example of sending 3 TCP syn packets to port 80 of scanme.nmap.org <http://scanme.nmap.org>:

# nping -tcp -c3 -p 80 scanme.nmap.org <http://scanme.nmap.org>

If you want to send the packets indefinitely, use -c0. More details: https://nmap.org/nping/

Works perfect.  Had to uninstall nmap and reinstall it to get it.

Thank you!
