New to Memcached - getting ERROR when trying to use nc

[OhadH]

I have installed memcached on Ubuntu machine using :

 sudo apt-get install memcached


I ran it using:


memcached -v -u root &

Using nestat I made sure it is listening on 11211 (localhost)

I have tried to do:

echo "stats settings" | nc localhost 11211

End I got:

ERROR


Can anyone help? I am trying to benchmark  memcached with YCSB but I
need to make sure it is running ok first. According to the default
configurations the log file exists in /var/log/memcached.log but it is
an empty file.

please help!
