wait

portcheck wait

Wait until ports accept connections (or become free)

Synopsis

Wait until every target accepts TCP connections, or with --free until every local port is free.

A target is a port (on --host, default localhost) or host:port. All targets are awaited in parallel. Exit status is 0 when all are ready, 1 on timeout.

portcheck wait <port|host:port>... [flags]

Examples

  portcheck wait 5432                          # until Postgres accepts connections
  portcheck wait db:5432 redis:6379 -t 60s     # several services, up to a minute
  portcheck wait 3000 --free                   # until the old dev server is gone
  portcheck wait 8080 -t 0                     # wait forever
