Hey Tony,

Need to see your script to know for sure..  But basically it means that 
one command in a pipe has dropped out so that that command connected
to it no longer has anything to write to.  For example:

cat file | head 


When head terminates after showing the first few lines...   cat receives
a SIGPIPE to tell it that it no longer has anywhere to send its output.

Share you script and i'm sure you'll get some more specific help.

Cheers,
Sean
