[Commotion-dev] txtinfo plugin question

[Josh King]

Hi Andy,

Actually both jsoninfo and txtinfo are enabled on Commotion; the latter 
is required by some luci modules we incorporate, and also I believe by 
the olsr-viz.js javascript visualizer, which we have not gotten around 
to tweaking yet. I don't believe curl is installed by default, but you 
can also access txtinfo from the commandline using netcat:

watch -d -n1 "echo '/all' | nc localhost 2006"

This is the method I usually use.
