[slime-devel] Connecting swank from lisp

Hi,

[I tried to search the archives but couldn't find anything similar to my needs. Therefore execuse me if this subject is discussed before. And I'll be appreciated if you can point me to the related thread.]

I've been trying to establish a start/stop init script to fire up a swank server. IRC folks suggested to use interrupts while shutting the swank server down, but I'm looking for if there is any other portable way of it. What I was wondering is, would it be possible to connect to a swank server from another lisp image and execute arbitrary commands (e.g., QUIT, SWANK:QUIT-LISP) on it?

Regards.

P.S. Yep, I checked the scripts at boinkor.net, but I want to use GNU screen instead. (For functionality purposes.)
