The current netcat/kernel/??? which I have decides to terminate as soon
as one of the two transfer directions closes. As one usually only ever
copies files in one direction at a time, this makes it impossible to
read /dev/null in the unneeded direction, which in turn makes it
impossible to background the job ("tty read - suspended"). Very
irritating. Can anyone think of some trick to restore previous
behaviour? There's /dev/null and /dev/zero, but no
/dev/readnothingnoteven-EOF.Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
