before I write it. I need a command that concentrates one socket to many (outbound) and many to one (inbound)
But it needs to do a bit more. On the inbound side, I need it to merge lines so that, e.g., a line from 11.1.1.1 and 11.1.1.2 if same, gets printed as 1-2: Mon may 8 2011 and if we have 11.1.1.1 and 11.1.1.2 and 11.1.1.4 and 11.1.1.5 you get 1-2,4-5: blah blah I have a sort of command like this, which I can adapt to Plan 9. If, however, someone already has this for Plan 9, it would save me time. For now I only need 64 hosts but at some point need 1024 (which my current command does) and eventually 262144. thanks ron
