15.3.2 Using the netcat program
The netcat (nc) program can also be used to submit files to a Hercules reader via TCP/IP. Install netcat
(which is useful for many other things as well) and use the following syntax:
nc –w1 localhost 1234 < dummy.jcl
For more information on the netcat program, type man nc from the Unix shell.
