The protocol is pretty simple, I suppose if I wrote a TCP/IP wrapper as well then someone could write a Android/iOS client..

Any interest in this type of service, i.e. something like Jabber/Gtalk but over DECNET?
I'm interested!
Now make it work on android and iPhone OS via a HECnet link. ;)

Yup, good old stderror, it was like a missing equals sign. Probably 4 hours tracking that down.
Oh well, live and learn.

Right, this just got way too insanely complex for a simple wrapper
around a Python script.
I'm doing it on Linux.
You've got a DCL on Linux. I've never see one. What's it called?

No - how do I do that?

Not per se but the DECNET stack got into a pretty bad state - had to
reboot.
I've never had to reboot a VMS box for anything DECnet related.
Yeah, this is some weird interaction between Python and DECNET TASKs.
It refuses to start python, basically.
Can Python be run non-interactively??? Are there any command line flags
or qualifiers for use in non-interactive mode??? Are you trying to pass
commands/data into Python via the DECnet channel??? It appears you are
WRT your SYS$COMMAND definition. Error messages should contain insight!
DECNET boxes seem pretty easy to DOS...
Poor application programming is not the fault of the system it runs on! ;)
A poor application program shouldn't take out the network stack :)
And I doubt that it did...
