port scanner software for my server

[al404]

I need to test that some specific ports are close on my server.
I guess I could do it from terminal but I was wondering if I can find a software to save my server and scan them from time to time.

I need to check that nobody live some port open

There are lots of choices....I like Angry IP, but check out the list here.

My recommendation would be to set up a cron job just to run an nmap scan periodically and have it output the results to a file that you can check.

Thanks, I end up using nmap from terminal
