Mike Frysinger	1c20e4a9fb	tools/netconsole: use ncb automatically if available ... The standard netcat, while ubiquitous, doesn't handle broadcast udp packets properly. The local ncb util does however. So if ncb can be located in the standard locations, automatically use that instead. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>	16 years ago
Mike Frysinger	770931805d	tools/netconsole: make a bit more robust ... The netcat utility likes to exit when it receives an empty packet (as it thinks this means EOF). This can easily occur when working with command line editing as this behavior will be triggered when using backspace. Or with tabs and command line completion. So create two netcat processes - one to only listen (and put it into a loop), and one to do the sending. Once the user quits the transmitting netcat, the listening one will be killed automatically.

Mike Frysinger	bcb6dd9187	tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDP ... While the doc/README.NetConsole does have a snippet for people to create their own netcat script, it's a lot easier to make a simple dedicated script and tell people to use it. Also spruce it up a bit to make it user friendly. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>	17 years ago
