From bcb6dd9187d4b23c748704767bd12d20c829e996 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 23:20:31 -0500 Subject: tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDP While the doc/README.NetConsole does have a snippet for people to create their own netcat script, it's a lot easier to make a simple dedicated script and tell people to use it. Also spruce it up a bit to make it user friendly.
