Hi! I just packaged the small multipipe tool from http://sourceforge.net/projects/multipipe.
It can send its stdin to several other commands like this: cat blub |multipipe 'cat >/dev/null' 'less' 'wc' I find this little tool very handy in many cases. Something like this should be available in Debian. You can download the source package from ftp://madroach.dyndns.org/multipipe/ I have not yet contacted upstream since the only way seems to contact upstream through sourceforge. Kind regards, Christopher Zimmermann
