Why not create another service to recieve it?

OK,, Been hit with a challenge... I've got to get cat to send a file out
of a port... K sounds easy...
Mods to /etc/xinetd.d
created new file called catnet....

# default: on
service catnet
{
type = INTERNAL
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/catnet
port = 8181
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}


then /usr/bin/catnet is

#!/bin/sh
cat /home/james/testthis.html &>/dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/8181

I then edited /etc/services and add this line.

catnet 8181/tcp

I keep getting a Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

when I try to connect to this port via telnet

IF I just run catnet I get

/usr/bin/catnet: connect: Connection refused
/usr/bin/catnet: line 2: /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/8181: Connection refused


Can anybody see what I didn't read right in the man pages?

I did restart xinetd btw... As near as I can figure I've blown something
that should be obvious... Any help?

James
