I'm writing a shell script that needs to send an 8 character string terminated with a x0d to a Sharp Aquos TV. An example is 'POWR1 \x0d' (POWR1 followed by three spaces and LF)

The documentation is poor. it says protocol TCP/IP (nothing about UDP or TCP) and service: nothing: do not select telnet or SSH.

In the past, for similar projects I've been able to use socat and something like:

echo -e -n 'POWR1 \x0d' | socat - tcp4:192.168.1.88:10002

However, all I get is "socat[3875] E connect(3, AF=2 192.168.1.88:10002, 16): Connection refused"

Anyone got any ideas

Regards

Mark
