I am doing an experiment and I want to determine the data rate of a proprietary networked device.
What I want to do is connect to it with Netcat and see how much data I get in a minute. Is there any way I can tell Netcat (or any other cmd line app) to run for only a specified amount of time?
I am looking for a simple command like this:
time -60 | nc 1.2.3.4 1234
thanx

Something like this should work:
Code:
/usr/bin/nc 1.2.3.4 1234 > nc.log 2>&1 &
pid=`ps -auxww | grep "/usr/bin/nc"`
sleep 60
kill -9 $pid
