Re: using listen to receive commands

[Paul Kienzle]

The file main/miscellaneous/listen.txt in the octave-forge distribution  
describes the protocol:

     
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/octave/octave-forge/main/ 
miscellaneous/listen.txt?rev=1.1&view=auto

The file extra/soctcl/octave.tcl subdirectory has an example of listen  
in action:

	http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/octave/octave-forge/extra/ 
soctcl/octave.tcl?rev=1.5&view=auto

See in particular octave::eval and octave::Recv.

There is no octave client written for listen.  There is however  
octave-forge/main/parallel which allows message passing between a set  
of octave clients.

Hope that helps,

        - Paul
