Huh? I am asking it to connect to port 587-g, which is silly. It cannot do that. So it should exit with an error, rather than flood me with errors. Note that this has nothing to do with stdin, it seems: echo -e '1\n2\n3' | swaks -s localhost -p doesnotexist -g [… endless errors …] So I think swaks should output a single error, rather than to enter an endless loop. > # in here, the user has either specified a port, or that they _want_ > # to, so if it isn't a resolvable port, ,keep prompting for another one If -p came without an argument, then the user /might/ want to be prompted, this is what the manpage suggests: Specify which TCP port on the target is to be used, or prompt if no argument is listed. In the face of an unusable argument, however, I think swaks is trying to be a little too smart or forgiving if it then prompts. Also, given that I passed -g, I told swaks that I want to use stdin for something else, not the port. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems one has to multiply thoughts to the point where there aren't enough policemen to control them. -- stanislaw jerzey lec
