Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 1231493902-7043-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
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. Since the local ncb util does not have this "feature" and it supports broadcast udp, default to using that rather than netcat.
When would "ncb" not be available?
What else are the implications when using ncb versus netcat?
Why does your script tools/netconsole so far use netcat only, when we have the (as I read it) much better ncb anyway?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
