ah, and i also wonder why the shell writing to the pipe exits when when doing: 1) echo something > fifo.txt 2) . fifo.txt end does not exit when doing: 1) . fifo.txt 2) echo something > fifo.txt
and also wonder why doing: 1) echo ls > test.txt 2) . test.txt the shell execs "ls" and shows the contents of the current directory and when doing it whith a FIFO, 1) echo ls > fifo.txt 2) . fifo.txt does not list subdirectory. bye -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.keromail.com
