I've written a server software that uses stdin/stdout to communicate with the client side. On Linux and similar systems, I use inetd to define what port my program should respond, and then inetd will take care of answering any incoming calls and connecting the socket with stdin/stdout of my program. What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this in windows?

I tried wininetd, but I can't get it to work. I could bang my head against it some more, but I was hoping there existed alternative solutions. – Mats Ekberg Jul 18 '12 at 20:20

There are others - cygwin, http://www.webiso.be/inetd.htm, probably more. – Nikolai Fetissov Jul 18 '12 at 20:23

Ok, wininetd works fine. That will do. Still, I'm surprised that there is not a native feature like that in windows. – Mats Ekberg Jul 19 '12 at 11:22
