sending a command using UDP?

[Ken Gerdeman]

does anyone know how(or what command) to send a command from HP-UX to another device that accepts UDP.

Thanks,
Ken

So basically you want to send a command from one server to another without the ability to determine if that command was successfully sent?

Interesting!

Your question has absolutely no meaning until you define the service to which you are trying to connect. Probably the easist way to set up a UDP client connection is via a Perl IO::Socket but you must be able to at least identify the service that you are trying to access.

If you just want to send a UDP packet to another device then you can use traceroute. You won't have any control over what the packet says but if the -p option is supported on the originating machine then you can point it at some other port other than the default.

If you want a little program to send arbitrary text to an arbitrary UDP port then:

is a good start.
