hopen 5001 => ‘hop. OS reports:

[gyorokpeter-kx]

It doesn’t necessarily mean that the port is not available, but that there is currently no process listening on it.

If you are expecting a server to be running on that port, you might want to check what’s up with it – it might be crashing or hanging in an error trap, not reaching the point where it opens the port.

If you are just experimenting, you first need to start a second q process with the command line parameters -p 5001 which will make it listen on that port.

Thank you for reply.

Does that mean the port is not available to be listened to?

How can I find out which ports can be chosen in this case?

[rosebroger]

Right, you’re right

Before using the hopen command, it is necessary to open the port listening with the p command:

p 5001       /system[“p 5001”]       /q.exe -p 5001

hopen 5001

Now work

Thank you to all for answer
