well what I was talking about is my halfbaked ideas about redirection. One thing that makes the command line so powerful is you can join together commads via pipes or whatever. So what I guess I was thinking about was how to I attach the output of task 1 to task 2's stdin. Trying to figure out a clean way of doing it is damn hard ;) Anyways it is not something that we should think about now because there has only been a few times that people have asked for that sorta functionality. > Interesting question is, which task should get to read from standard > input if several tasks run in parallel ...
