Try: $command-interact();
It connects the process to STDIN and returns when the process dies.

RedHat has a glittery Solaris-esque install, but vanilla installs need too much work (another similarity with Solaris who made half of /usr/bin friggin' setuid root). RedHat also irritated me greatly with the changes in RPM and their neglect of the SPARC disributions, so I decided to play with Debian (which has a philosophy closer to mine). I can tell you already that dselect is a wonderful utility, and dpkg appears to be better than rpm (at least for my purposes). If you do move, keep in mind that unstable means unstable. Mark ... and Debian even does the SysV boot sequence, now. -- [] | "Girls in occupied countries always [] Mark Rogaski | get into trouble with soldiers," she [] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | said, when I asked her what the Virgin [] | birth was. -- Florence King, CoaFSL PGP signature
