  • Netcat − Network Connections Made Easy
    Netcat − network connections made easy A lot of the shell scripting I do involves piping the output of one command into another, such as: $ cat /var/log/messages | awk '{print $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15}' | sed −e 's/\[[0−9]*\]:/:/' | sort | uniq | less which shows me the system log file after removing the timestamps and [12345] pids and removing duplicates (1000 neatly ordered unique lines is a lot easier to scan than 6000 mixed together). The above technique works well when all the processing can be done on one machine. What happens if I want to somehow send this data to another machine right in the pipe? For example, instead of viewing it with less on this machine, I want to somehow send the output to my laptop so I can view it there. Ideally, the command would look something like: $ cat /var/log/messages | awk '{print $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15}' | sed −e 's/\[[0−9]*\]:/:/' | sort | uniq | laptop That exact syntax won't work because the shell thinks it needs to hand off the data to a program called laptop − which doesn't exist. There's a way to do it, though. Enter Netcat Netcat was written 5 years ago to perform exactly this kind of magic − allowing the user to make network connections between machines without any programming. Let's look at some examples of how it works. Let's say that I'm having trouble with a web server that's not returning the content I want for some reason.

  • Google Talk: Is It Ready for the Enterprise?
    Research Publication Date: 16 April 2009 ID Number: G00166834 Google Talk: Is It Ready for the Enterprise? David Mario Smith, James Lundy This report discusses the Google Talk instant messaging product and its suitability for enterprises. This is important for companies which are looking at alternatives to IBM and Microsoft for messaging and collaboration. Key Findings • Google Talk IM is based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) and Jingle protocols. • To get enterprise-level support for Google Talk, companies have to purchase the full Google Apps Premier Edition (GAPE) suite. • Enterprise users are already using the Google Talk and Gmail free services. Recommendations • Enterprises making collaboration decisions should include the Google Apps portfolio as part of an effort to compare the economics of their current incumbent provider vs. similar services provisioned in the cloud. © 2009 Gartner, Inc. and/or its Affiliates.
