[olug] Bash TCP scripting

[Travis Owens]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever done any scripting with bash, using
/dev/tcp or some form of socket connections? I'm looking at doing something
bi-directional, receiving the response after the connection is established,
parsing it, using a piece to send back and parsing the final response.

The information I've found so far on the net, show how to establish a
connection, but not necessarily what to do with it after it's established...

Thanks in advance,
