Connect to a LispWorks instance?

Hi! I'm using LispWorks 5.1 Professional under FreeBSD and
I'm wordering if it's possible to have a setup that's similar to
Swank and SLIME wherein I'd run a Lisp instance at system
startup (via script), and then I'd connect to that process using
LispWorks so I can interact with the running code (e.g. web
server).

I'm looking for something that is similar to SLIME's
M-x slime-connect functionality? Does such thing exist in
LispWorks?

Thanks. :-)

Hi, Rommel Martinez

Try this:

(COMM:START-UP-SERVER :SERVICE 10000) ;; change 10000 to any other  
port you like

You'll got a REPL thread listen on this port, you can use telnet to  
connect to this port. Remember type a STRING first to set up a name:

binghe@binghe-mac:~$ telnet debian.local 10000
Trying 172.16.114.128...
Connected to debian.local.
Escape character is '^]'.
"My Remote Client"

CL-USER 1 > (lisp-implementation-version)

"5.1.0"

CL-USER 2 > mp:*current-process*

#<MP:PROCESS Name "My Remote Client" Priority 3 State "Running">

CL-USER 3 >

Since no access control implemented, you'd better use a firewall to  
protect this port.
