Do you have a reason to prefer the one-connection
mode? Message passing between local and remote scripts. - One box triggers another box to start a script and both run in parallel. - Some lines later, remote sets up a one-time listen to pipe into a process. - Local sets up a one-time connect from a process of its own. Currently the listener hangs, since it won't die until killed. The connector has --send-only, so that script can continue. Technically, the remote side could "start /b ncat ..." to fork it off, wait for a sign it got the message, then taskkill ncat... but that's messy, fragile, and brings in cmd's retarded nested quote handling. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
