Hi All,
I am trying to get a named pipe working, I have already made a fifo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/bin$ ls -al /home/dave/kmotion2/www/pipe_func prw-rw---- 1 dave www-data 0 2008-08-20 20:25 /home/dave/kmotion2/www/pipe_func [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/bin$ but when I execute my test code to add an item to the fifo ... func = '199' www_dir = '/home/dave/kmotion2/www' print '%s/pipe_func' % www_dir pipeout = os.open('%s/pipe_func' % www_dir, os.O_WRONLY) print 'xxx' os.write(pipeout, func) os.close(pipeout) I get the path printed out & then the script hangs silently on pipeout = os.open('%s/pipe_func' % www_dir, os.O_WRONLY) Can anyone tell me why ? I expected it to return immediately Cheers Dave -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
