This creates a few technical problems however, the biggest of which is that you will only be able to run one of these scripts at a time (not in parallel) because the source port will be in use. Also, what does the script do if some other application is using that port? Best, Doug
Excuse my ignorance but does Lua/NSE offer any sort of atomic test-and-set or semaphores/mutexes? I know NSE was designed to be as parallel as possible but there are bound to be shared-resource usage scenarios (like this one) where IPC or locking/critical sections would be very useful. Reading http://lua-users.org/wiki/ThreadsTutorial has left me slightly confused as to what options are available inside of Lua, not what the interpreter itself uses. Brandon
