[Udpcast] Udpcast and ssh

[Stephen Kaspersen]

If he edits for example /etc/rc.d/skeleton in Suse 8.2
changes the line ' FOO_BIN=/usr/sbin/FOO ' to  ' FOO_BIN="udp-receiver -f
/dev/hda1 -nokbd" '
and saves the file as /etc/rc.d/udp-reciever

Then ssh in type :  /etc/rc.d/udp-reciever start
After exiting udp-reciever will be running as a service the same way one
uses /etc/rc.d/xinetd start to allow ftp-ing to a server
If udp-reciever was stopping because it was bound to a session this would no
longer be the case
I have tried it and it works
