[Hamlib-developer] rigctld port usage looks weird

[Sakari N. <sak...@ni...>]

HI!

I have feeling there is something weird with rigctld TCP port usage.
My memory may be poor, but if I remember right rigctld did not allow 
starting a new instance to same TCP port that is already in use.

Now this seems to happen:

[saku@hamtpad ~]$ rigctld --version
rigctld Hamlib 4.7~git 2025-06-09T09:26:07Z SHA=93434b 64-bit
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 1 -t 4532 &
[1] 5927
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 2 -t 4532 &
[2] 5931
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 4 -t 4532 &
[3] 5937
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ ps ax | grep rig
    5927 pts/0    Sl     0:00 /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 1 -t 4532
    5931 pts/0    Sl     0:00 /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 2 -t 4532
    5937 pts/0    S      0:00 /usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 4 -t 4532
    5940 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto rig
[saku@hamtpad ~]$


Do I remember wrong?
