Uplink Relay does not seem to be working

Post by bountycode » Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:55 pm

I've been using the same script to send key strokes between two computers for over a year now but now in the last inner space patch the uplink relay does not seem to be working. Has there been a change in the Uplink Relay command?

I do
uplink RemoteUplink -connect HOME2
It says
Connection to HOME2 on port 10101 succeeded
doing Uplink Sessions shows
HOME2.is1
typing
Uplink Relay HOME2.is1 echo test
does nothing
Uplink Relay all echo test
does nothing too

Hasn't changed in several months, but you can execute relay directly from your session instead of using the uplink command to route it through the uplink. Also, if you relay an echo without using -noredirect, the result will be displayed to the sender (same with the output of every command), which in this case is your uplink. Since you're probably not looking in your uplink console to see the output, that's probably why you are thinking it does nothing.

relay HOME2.is1 echo test
- "test" echoes to the SENDER, not on HOME2.is1
relay HOME2.is1 -noredirect echo test
- "test" echoes on HOME2.is1
uplink relay HOME2.is1 echo test
- "test" echoes to the SENDER, not on HOME2.is1. The real sender is hidden by the uplink command, so the output goes to the uplink
