socat-multi-init is a LSB init tool to manage multiple socat relays See http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/doc/socat.html
Install files to their required locations:
git clone https://github.com/isaacchapman/socat-multi-init.git
cd socat-multi-init
sudo cp -a etc/init.d/socat /etc/init.d/
sudo cp -a etc/default/socat /etc/default/
sudo mkdir -p /etc/socat/conf.d
sudo cp -a etc/socat/conf.d/* /etc/socat/conf.d/
$SOCAT_OPTS
defined in /etc/default/socat
override the default flags that
are provided to each socat relay created.
Each line in a /etc/socat/conf.d/*.conf
file will setup a separate socat relay.
Additional flags besides those provided by $SOCAT_OPTS
can be included.
See socat examples for example usage.
