I don't understand networking very well, but it looks like the netreceive has to bind to the port first, and I think your script only waits until pd process sucessfully starts (i.e., doesn't wait for it to load the patch) before doing 'pdsend'. Quick and dirty: (pd -open netreceive-help.pd &); sleep 5 && pdsend 3000 That way pdsend waits five seconds before executing, and the patch should be loaded by then. Maybe there's a shell guru here who can tell you how to wrap it up in a script that automatically sends messages on each keydown event. :) -Jonathan _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
