Abstract
A method to establish a generic remote connection to a command line interface (CLI) application is provided. A server is implemented. The server is configured with a data input channel, a data output channel, and an error output channel, each connected to the CLI application. A first socket is configured for routing data streams through the data input channel and data output channel of the server. At least one client is implemented. The at least one client is configured with the data input channel, data output channel, and the error output channel.

A method to establish a generic remote connection to a command line interface (CLI) application, comprising:
- implementing a server configured with a data input channel, a data output channel, and an error output channel, each connected to the CLI application;
- configuring a first socket for routing data streams through the data input channel and data output channel of the server;
- and
- implementing at least one client configured with the data input channel, data output channel, and the error output channel.
A system for establishing a generic remote connection to a command line interface (CLI) application, comprising:
- server configured with a data input channel, a data output channel, and an error output channel, each connected to the CLI application;
- a first socket connected to the server for routing data streams through the data input channel and data output channel of the server;
- and
- at least one client configured with the data input channel, data output channel, and the error output channel.
A computer program product for establishing a generic remote connection to a command line interface (CLI) application, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first executable portion for implementing a server configured with a data input channel, a data output channel, and an error output channel, each connected to the CLI application;
- a second executable portion for configuring a first socket for routing data streams through the data input channel and data output channel of the server;
- and
- a third executable portion for implementing at least one client configured with the data input channel, data output channel, and the error output channel.
