commandline UDP sender

Post by jitterjames »

I just put together this simple little command line utility for sending udpcommands.

these can be read by the broadcaster plugin. Handy if you want to send a command to eventghost from anywhere on your lan without having any software running.
see: http://www.eventghost.org/forum/viewtop ... =broadcast

this utility requires .net
I've only tested it on vista32 bit, but it should work fine if you have .net installed and up to date.

use it like this:

udpsender.exe udpport "put command string here"

for example:

udpsender.exe 33333 "All Off"

hope it helps someone.

Hi! This That's amazing but I am trying to put line breaks or linefeed on the end of message because my udp listener doesn't recognize messages without line feeds... Is is possible? Hugs

I don't think it is possible. I only sends plain text.

but usually a UDP server does not require carriage returns or line feeds at the end of a message. that is more of a TCP thing, AFAIK.

I may have the source code around here somewhere if you want to modify it. It is relatively simple. Made with Visual Studio using C#
