What is the best way to peel an orange? Numerous ways come to my mind. First is
just to do what your trying to do, the manual way with telnet.
Another way is to have the server either stop taking requests either upon special
command either quiting or waiting for the "on" command. And yet another way would
be to have the server not take requests between a certain time periods.
Your decision just depends really on what you want it to do in the grand scheme of
things. I will be kind and give an example to play with.

Hmmm... I have never run into this. Probably your telnet server. Are you logged
in as root?
Try another telnetd maybe. Good question for a Linux newsgroup.
Anyways, have fun,
