Netcat

I need to perform reverse telnetting from work with netcat. How can I make a cron line that will connect to my home at say 6 pm?

Hi,

Read The Fine Manual:

A line like this should work:
* * 18 * * 1-5 /path/to/your/command

I don't see how that would work. I need to make netcat connect to an outside machine and start a reverse telnet. Are you sure this is what I need?

Mmm... did you try it? :-P

Seems like a cron line is a good solution if we believe the following article (look at the end):

Give it a try and if it does not work, we'll look at something else.

By the way, reverse telnet from work... it looks a bit insecure to me... are you sure you want/can do it?

Good luck,
