hello,

I've a little problem with RC control.

First of all, in several posts there are calls like --rc-host your_host:port, but I think it doesn´t work. The correct is --rc-host="your_host:port", isn´t it?

My problem is the following: I connect with a socket but when I launch a "h" command to probe the connection there is no respond in the rc interface(doesn`t appear the help), and there is no respond in my socket console control. But when I type "h" in the rc command, then the socket begins to work, and it shows with all the "h" commands and "play" commands that I send before. So, the socket doesn´t work since I launch any command from RC interface, and this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.


I need help., Thank you very much

On windows and macosx yes (linux don't need the =" ")

The RC interface only answers to the first connection ... this behavior suxx and that is why a rewrite of the RC interface (and merging it with the telnet interface) is scheduled.
