Sarah: I'll try using your method first, why don't
you use "send in 1 second until the file is not empty" or something like
that, instead of a repeat loop with wait?
I guess I could have done it that way, but I would have to incorporate
a check for reading a file that was not yet complete, or for a file
reading error, if it was still in use by the shell. This works very
quickly if there is a connection, and handles a failure smoothly.
BTW: from man sh, "REDIRECTION" Section
The mysterious part.. still archane, but there's a touch of light here.
and lots of other stuff in man sh, if you have the stomach for bash.
=========
Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the
command
ls > dirlist 2>&1
directs both standard output and standard error to the file
dirlist,
while the command
ls 2>&1 > dirlist
directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the
standard
error was duplicated as standard output before the standard
output was
redirected to dirlist.
=========
Thanks for this info, I'm getting worried now, because I almost
understand it :-)
Sarah
