Subject: [PATCH 14/14] netconsole.txt: revision of examples for the receiver of kernel messages
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:10:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344582637-18261-15-git-send-email-amwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344582637-18261-1-git-send-email-amwang@redhat.com>

From: Dirk Gouders <gouders@et.bocholt.fh-gelsenkirchen.de>

There are at least 4 implementations of netcat with the BSD-based
being the only one that has to be used without the -p switch to
specify the listening port.

Jan Engelhardt suggested to add an example for socat(1).

-The remote host can run either 'netcat -u -l -p <port>',
-'nc -l -u <port>' or syslogd.
+The remote host has several options to receive the kernel messages,
+for example:
+
+1) syslogd
+
+2) netcat
+
+   On distributions using a BSD-based netcat version (e.g. Fedora,
+   openSUSE and Ubuntu) the listening port must be specified without
+   the -p switch:
+
+   'nc -u -l -p <port>' / 'nc -u -l <port>' or
