Right. What is sort of in the back of my mind is a C program that can open more than one connection, and it reads a script that tells it "fire this command out on this connection". The question at hand is whether we can avoid re-inventing the wheel. > Expect is very cool, but it would impose an extra dependency on tcl that > we don't now have for building and testing, True. I was pointing to it more as an example of the sorts of tools people have built for this type of problem. I'm pretty sure there are re-implementations of Expect out there that don't use Tcl; would you be happier with, say, a perl-based tool? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
