I think I'll go lie down.

Okay, further research, trying to narrow down problem in my code.
This works for me:
local sRes = pipe.listen_on("powerpro", 0)
sRes = pipe.send_to(?#win.debug("hello")#, sMyMachine, "", 0)
win.debug("pipe.send_to returns " ++ sRes)
sRes = pipe.listen_off
pipe.unload
Remove the debug, and it crashes.
Same for you?
So the problem is the send_to, not the listen.
How about provided script
pipePluginTestScriptToSelfUsingVar.powerpro,
which has to be on your script path to work right?
Works fine for me, even if you remove calls to @outLine.
Same for you?
If so, would seem problem is executing script coming back through a pipe.
Okay, think about it. The instant you send yourself a command,
the pipe will deliver the script back to Powerpro. _But Powerpro is
still executing the test script_. Powerpro isn't multithreading. So
suddenly Powerpro is trying to execute the current script, maybe even
the current statement, ("pipe.send_to..."), and also trying to execute
what's coming down the pipe.
I can only speculate the the debug window gives Powerpro a breathing
space, so while script is doing that it can also execute something
coming in down pipe.
Problem shouldn't be as severe if you're waiting for a piped command
from another machine, cause PP won't be guaranteed to be running a
script when the script comes down the pipe.
But looks like there's always possibility of conflict between script
running because of e.g. timer and script running via a pipe. Maybe
one's mostly better off using pipe to set a variable (as in
pipePluginTestScriptToSelfUsingVar.powerpro), which is not prone to
conflict.
I'll look into it further and see if there's any way I can get around
the clash between scripts.
