What is the goautodiald.pl script that is running on port 707 doing?

Code: Select all

locate goautodiald.pl

nano the results ... and read the file ...

I'm curious, too. But I don't have a goautodial running right now

It appears to be opening a port and listening for connections.

Then it seems that it opens the log files and prints to
/var/log/goautodial/goautodiald.log

Starting goautodial client connection...
Socket connection established on Host: 127.0.0.1 | Port: 59613
Command request: /etc/init.d/network status
Request Status: Configured devices: lo eth0
Currently active devices:
lo eth0

From further analysis it seems to be the script that runs collecting the system information that will then populate the custom goautodial system status pages with server statuses and other process information.

is that port limited to local connections or can it be accessed from eth0 and queried ...?

You're correct. It's the one responsible for the system information and web based management tool of GoAutoDial. And of course it only listens on 127.0.0.1.
