Hello!
I want to control the starting of certain services on my
Linux VPS with a home made porttrigger. If the right password
is received the according programm for that port is started.
( I have my reasons to do it this way and not with firewall
setting or encryted passwords. If you want to know ask 
)
This is what i have come up with so far:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require “socket”
server = TCPServer.new(‘0.0.0.0’, 8089)
while (session = server.accept)
if (ret=session.gets.chomp) =~ /password/
puts ./sc_serv0
end
session.close
end
It kinda works, but the problem is that the ruby isnt freeing
the port.
So programms that cant share ports give me:
error opening source socket! FATAL ERROR! Some other process is using
this port!
How do i close the TCPServer after the right password is received?
( In the final version i want to stop the started programm after
a certain amount of of time and start the trigger again ( and it
prolly needs to be threaded. ))
But for now i just want this to work.
server.shutdown wont work after the right pw is received.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
