Python example

#!/usr/bin/python
# import python modules
from socket import *
HOST = '67.21.78.234'      # '' means bind to all interfaces
PORT = 9090    #  port
# create our socket handler
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
#  when canceled out we can reuse port
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
# bind to interface
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
# print we are accepting connections
print "Listening on 0.0.0.0:%s" % str(PORT)
# listen for only 10 connection
s.listen(10)
# accept connections
conn, addr = s.accept()
# print connected by ipaddress
print 'Connected by', addr
# receive initial connection
data = conn.recv(1024)
# start loop
while 1:
     # enter shell command
     command = raw_input("Enter shell command or quit: ")
     # send shell command
     conn.send(command)
     # if we specify quit then break out of loop and close socket
     if command == "quit": break
     # receive output from linux command
     data = conn.recv(1024)
     # print the output of the linux command
     print data
# close socket
