portgrabber
I'm not seeing portgrabber(1) anywhere. Where is it, or what are the up-to-date instructions for running a non-PHP Web service? abartov (talk) 07:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- There is no documentation for this. The source can be found here, i. e. basically connect to
/tmp/sock.portgranter, send$tool\nthere, receive a port number back, connect to port 8282 on tools-webproxy, send.*\n$host:$port\nthere, leave the sockets open until your server terminates. Note that for non-PHP = Tomcat, there iswebservice tomcat start. --Tim Landscheidt (talk) 07:53, 14 December 2014 (UTC)- Thanks, Tim! This was helpful. I now see portgrabber is reachable on the grid, even if not from the tool's command line. I ran into more difficulty running my server, but it does not appear to be related to portgrabber, but to the environment. abartov (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I misread your question to mean "how does portgrabber work", not "how does one use portgrabber". It's rather pretty easy: Call it with
portgrabber $tool $command [$arg1…$argn], and it will grab a port number and call$command [$arg1…$argn] $port(leaving the sockets open until$commandterminates). --Tim Landscheidt (talk) 21:44, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
