After looking ay many options I decided the KISS method for this was the best for me. All I wanted to do was receive a few values from a remote site every 15 minutes. A simple UDP server/client in Perl is working well. I limit the received data, check the source IP, and only allow another connection after 5 minutes. I suppose I could miss some data using UDP but that is not a big deal. I am looking for trends over time. The client (remote) reads the one wire devices and sends the data to the listening server every 15 minutes via a cron job. The server is a backgound Perl script that writes the validated data to a file. Both scripts are about 20 lines long. Doug On 2010年9月24日, Gavin W. Burris wrote: > I second shell scripting + ssh.
