Testing connectivity to a SMPP-server

[Marcus Mülbüsch]

Hi all,

   Since monit cannot (yet?) speak the SMPP-protocol, I try to use the 
send/expect method.

   Now, to test the connectivity I send a well-defined "BIND" string to 
the SMPP server and check my response. However, this will leave the SMPP 
connection open until closed.

   To not have dozens, or hundreds, of dangling connections open I 
would like to send the appropriate "UNBIND" string to terminate the 
connection.

   How do I write a statement that will do one test after the other; 
and only if the first test succeeded?
