Rene, Thanks for the info, I am trying to sequentially execute the same bash shell script (which could be rolled into this Perl script) with about 1/2 dozen clients ssh'ing a keyword into a pipe as $1 for use in the bash script. I need something to read max 30 or so chars from a named pipe and execute my script with that keyword. Something that I can daemonize with an init script. Seen anything similar that can be bent into shape? Thanks! jlc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
