I ran into something similar some time ago on, apparently, 8.0. I found - I forget where - a workaround. To quote from the script: # Misfeature in 8.0's sh(1): "exec N<thing" descriptors are not passed # to commands(!!). Fortunately it provides a workaround: N>&N / N<&N. exec 3</dev/rsd0d 3<&3 This may work for your use case too; I didn't try exec with a command. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
