Some gobbledy-gook I just read about a product I maintain and support here at work. Yikes:
Support for UDP Command Synchronization: The CCI NewsML Channel has been enhanced to watch for a special UDP command received over the network from a remote computer (or the local machine), and to begin channel processing upon receipt of this command. This feature provides a mechanism to synchronize the channel’s processing task with the actual export of the NewsML data from the CCI editorial system, or with any other system event. A command line application that can be embedded in a script is also provided that will generate the correct command.
