Looks like nc returns stuff on my (linux) machine running SC 7.4.2.
Maybe you want to do stuff with "unix sockets" to do local-only
communication, rather than using pipes ? I think the code I posted a
long while ago to do some power management under the mac (a daemon
launched as root and a userland script launched by srvPowerControl) was
communicating over a unix socket.
I'm sure O'Reilly has all the info you'd ever need, in its Perl or Unix
series. Right here is an illegitimate link to the Perl Cookbook on unix
sockets, nasty ads included:
