RE: Re: redirection of output

[djw]

What I am looking to do is this:

Machine A = perl program runs a dedicated quake server and pumps output of console to Machine B using a Perlbot in irc
Machine B = runs a perlbot in irc that can pump out console info and accept and send quake server commands to Machine A.

Basically a client/server admin tool using IRC.

Perlbot Perlbot Quake3Plugin Similar GUI based (Tcl/Tk) program used for Half-Life servers

Not the noblest of causes but its a fun project. =)

So, you can still use HTTP, but it's probably overkill unless you want some sort of security.

Short of that, one solution is to set up a TCP server socket on the quake machine, and have it broadcast whatever's showing up to any and all clients that connect. Then write a simple TCP client on the perlbot side, and when data is ready, feed it to the perlbot.
