So, I tried to post this with the commands in the post and Cloudflare blocked the post. I had to put the commands in images for Cloudflare not to block the post. Sorry for the extra step


In terminal 1, I run: [see picture]


In terminal 2, I run: [see picture]


The message comes through to terminal 1 just fine but nc holds the connection open. I ran this on a Linux Mint install and the message comes through and then the connection closes.

Any idea how to get Slackware's nc to close the connection after the message?

UPDATE: -q1 needs to be added to the 'client', not the 'server'

-q1 must be on Term. #2
Because you are sending data from Term. #2 to Term. #1

Unfortunately, the -q1 didn't work. I think this is because I'm using an echo and not a cat so no EOF.

It works here

Yeah, I can't explain it... I'm running Slackware64-current-

I'm a dork.... I put -q1 in the wrong terminal... It works, thanks!
