It would seem that the "best" way to write this would be: nc -v www.mcnabbs.org 80 >$FIFO2 <$FIFO1 & ./httpget.sh >$FIFO1 <$FIFO2 since each command opens a fifo for writing as quickly as possible and waits as long as possible before opening a fifo for reading. However, it seems to hang when I do it this way. What am I missing? -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
