Bash Script text into a python chat server - Linux

[spbr]

I've got the following python chat server code:

import socket
import threading
import sys

class Server:
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    connections = []
    def __init__(self):
        self.sock.bind(('0.0.0.0', 10000))
        self.sock.listen(1)


    def handler(self, c, a):
        while True:
            data = c.recv(1024)
            for connection in self.connections:
                connection.send(data)
            if not data:
                print(str(a[0]) + ':' + str(a[1]), "disconnected")
                self.connections.remove(c)
                c.close()
                break

    def run(self):
        while True:
            c, a = self.sock.accept()
            cThread = threading.Thread(target=slef.handler, args=(c, a))
            cThread.daemon = True
            cThread.start()
            self.connections.append(c)
            print(str(a[0]) + ':' + str(a[1]), "connected")

class Client:
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

    def sendMsg(self):
        while True
            self.sock.send(bytes(input(""). 'utf-8'))

    def __init__(self, address):
        self.sock.connect((address, 10000))

        iThread = threading.Thread(target=self.sendMsg)
        iThread.daemon = True
        iThread.start()

        while True
            data = self.sock.recv(1024)
            if not data:
                break
            print(str(data, 'utf-8'))

if (len(sys.argv) > 1):
    client = Client(sys.argv[1])
else:
    server = Server()
    server.run()

and I'm able to send messages across two machines, but I would like to automatically have messages sent into the python chat messaging service with a bash script. Is there any way to do this?

Thank you

You could send the request with curl

You can also use bash's /dev/net feature.  Same examples of it here: https://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/devref1.html

 

If you want a more portable solution, try netcat, but do note there are two different programs by the same name, their options are slightly different.
