Most C programs don't seem to ignore SIGPIPE; in fact, the reason it exists is to allow programs to be killed silently when their output is no longer wanted by the next pipeline step. Try <random-command> | more, get a page of output, and hit 'q'; very few programs will report EPIPE ("svn log" is the only one I know of). -- A rabbi whose congregation doesn't want John Cowan to drive him out of town isn't a rabbi, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan and a rabbi who lets them do it [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a man. --Jewish saying _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
