# go-tcplisten: A simple TCP Listener written in go
This simple program was created to be used as a system service. The service starts and listens on a specified TCP port number, and echos back any raw data sent.
Designed as a tiny executable to be used as a service monitor with VMware NSX Load Balancers
## Configuration
No configuration required. Build to be executed from either **command line** or **crontab** (or **Services** for Windows).
```bash
> ./go-tcplisten 1234
```
```powershell
> .\go-tcplisten 1234
```
Where **1234** is the TCP Port number you want the service to listen to.
### Windows Service
Add to Services using the following...
```batch
sc create "GoLang TCP Listener" binpath="c:\go-tcplisten\go-tcplisten.exe 1234" type=own start=auto
```
## Testing
To test the application, run the following
```bash
go run *.go
```
## Building
When ready to compile, run the following
```bash
go build
```
The resulting executable & config.yml file can be placed in your system or user path.
