Yeah, I got virtual box going here...is there a shell command line server i could use? I understand that it is very simple to write ( i would just put down a little perl script probably) but i'm thinking if there is no application available already as this seems to be a very common thing that's required...?

I'm not sure what you are asking exactly here, but I think socat may be the answer. (netcat would be too, but socat is so much more powerful)

I'm looking for a utility that is listening on a certain port for incoming data where as socat and netcat are here as a client to send data to a server....i'm looking for the server/listener utility...

The IP version is 4 or the one specified with address option pf, socat option (-4, -6), or environment variable SOCAT_DEFAULT_LISTEN_IP. Note that opening this address usually blocks until a client connects. Option groups: FD,SOCKET,LISTEN,CHILD,RANGE,IP4,IP6,TCP,RETRY Useful options: crnl, fork, bind, range, tcpwrap, pf, backlog, mss, su, reuseaddr, retry, cool-write See also: TCP4-LISTEN, TCP6-LISTEN, UDP-LISTEN, SCTP-LISTEN, UNIX-LISTEN, OPENSSL-LISTEN, TCP-CONNECT nc(1): -l listen mode, for inbound connects Something like that, then?

Just fire-up an (x)inetd with one of the discard, echo or chargen services enabled. rick jones -- Wisdom Teeth are impacted, people are affected by the effects of events. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |
