so I see at least one other thread on this topic but no real solution.

the situation is:
using NSTask to run a shell command and using the return.
all the NSTask stuff is in a separate function which gets called repeatedly from a loop. works great until I run out out NSPipes - about 248 iterations before [NSPipe pipe] returns nil. I have the function wrapped in an autorelease pool and have tried explicitly allocating and releasing the NSPipe.

the [myTask waitUntilExit] solution mentioned in another thread made no difference.

does anyone understand what causes this limitaion?

is there another way to get a return from the shell?
system() does what I need, as often as you like, except I can't get the return value.

cheers,
justin webster
