Ncat and starting command on boot

[NASCHARGE]

I have been playing with the program ncat (great little tool)
I am trying to run a command to open a socket on boot
I have it working when I run the command from terminal but cant seem to get it happening at boot.

here's my command used & so it runs in background....

Code: Select all

ncat -l -p 1717 --keep-open --sh-exec "echo hi there" &


I have created a file as follows

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh


case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting script "
   ncat -l -p 1717 --keep-open --sh-exec "echo hi there" &
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "Stopping script blah"
    #add later
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/ncat_sdown {start|stop}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0


have added to startup by

Code: Select all

update-rc.d test defaults

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
