First of all you shall download the twidge binaries from here:
https://github.com/jgoerzen/twidge/downloads
the twidge binary requires libcurl-gnutls
…
…
simply type the following command:
Twidge is a full command-line client. It is designed to be useful when you’re sitting at a shell prompt. It’s also designed to work well with the Unix/POSIX/Linux shell scripting environment. It produces output in well-formed and easily-parsed ways, and has various features for working with piped data.

When you are working on embedded systems you couldn't have some useful tools to monitor the system resource;
In the following you will find a simple shell script I use when I want to monitor the network traffic on a Linux box.
Here it is the simplePing, it is a simple multithreaded ping implementation coded from scratch.
First of all we need some requirements to satisfy:
REQ_OS_01
simplePing shall run on Linux Systems.
REQ_OS_03

Demonizing the Server
A server, to be a real server shall be able to run as a demon, it shall run in background and it shall not be linked to a terminal. To do this I'll add two functions to the simple server:
- demonize
- detachFromTerminal
The Client.
The following code contains the implementation for the UDP client application that can send data to the server explained in the previous article.
