Hi,

I try to execute a linknx request using netcat, but it doesn't work.

I think it's because of EOT character.

Do you have example that works ?

Thanks per advance,
Ben

  Hi,
  
  I know that on some platforms netcat filters the EOT character (netcat on my WRT54GS does that), but on a desktop linux it seems to work.
  To generate the EOT character, you can use command like:
  printf "<write><object id='kitchen_light' value='on'/></write>\n\x4" | nc localhost 1028

  Hi,
  
  I tried it at home today and it works on my linux desktop (Suse 10.2). I had to replace "nc" by "netcat". (on Redhat enterprise linux, the command is named "nc" instead of "netcat" )
