Hi,

the linux kernel has the ability to send simple network packets from a shell.

This sends a test message over udp port 515 to 10.254.10.10

1	`michael@debdev ~` `# echo "TEST MESSAGE" > /dev/udp/10.254.10.10/515`

This also works for tcp.

1	`michael@debdev ~` `# echo "TEST MESSAGE" > /dev/tcp/10.254.10.10/80`
