Is there a UNIX socket test client program (a la NetCat)? I need to test a variety of UNIX (not IP/INET) socket daemons for both syntax and "are you running".
Is there a program that can read-write to an arbitrary Unix-type socket in a manner similar to NetCat or Telnet? My simple attempts to adapt the "Perl Cookbook" Unix socket program didn't work and no one on the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup has been able to offer a suggestion. Perl code is nice but a compiled program is fine too. I am running SpamAssassin, and a variet of other programs listening on Unix sockets and it would help a great deal if I could interactively test such sockets. -- Herb Martin
