This program is a UDP client that will request execution of a remote program on a UDP server then return once the server has sent the return status of the program back. If a packet gets lost on the way to the server, the client will hang. This is not a bug but the way that UDP works. The client must be called with two command line parameters:

server : the host name or ip address of the server you want to connect to

executable_name : the name of the executable you want to run on the server

An example:

client udpserver.cs.wisc.edu who

This will execute the UNIX command 'who' on the server whose host name is udpserver.cs.wisc.edu.
