Is there a similar program to redir? (port redirector)

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

First off, I am hoping that I can post.

Have found a shareware program called redir-2.2.1 and compiled it to work on HP-UX 11.00. Works just fine, taking a local port from the HP side and redirecting to a port on a mainframe no problem. Very simple and maintenance free. It does not want to startup at boot so I am thinking something else is out there that may be available. SNA would be too complicated since I am only talking about 10 developers. Anybody know of or have any ideas?

Many thanks!

Rick,

I have no idea about your post, but I just wanted you to know that I was able to read your post today. First time in a while I've been able to do that.

I don't know of any other programs, but why won't redir load at startup ?

(Given your little hat you have there, I'm sure your probably right about it not being able to start... but i'd just like to know myself )

WOW! I can read my posts. So can others!

It's a wonderful day!

Anyway, still unsure why it doesn't start at boot. I can start the S995redir from the command line no trouble. Have placed the set -x in the script and all looks OK. The return status code says 0 (echo $?). I have placed echo statements in the script and it is going through the script.

I have tried to put the start in different order to no avail. Right now, I am putting it at the bottom so it is the last process to start, even after CDE starts, so networking issues, being stomped on, etc., is not a problem. Have e-mailed the developer to see if he has received any bug repts to this effect but no response. My final two choices are to modify the issue file to send a message saying "don't forget this!" or to find something else to do the job.
