I'm trying to write a shell script that will noninteractively accept
a chunk of text on standard input, but haven't been able to figure out
how to go about doing so. What I'm trying to do is write a script that
will get called by an exim filter. Accroding to the exim docs, when a
script is called by the filter, the script is run and the message is
passed on the standard input.
I tried having a look through the bash man page - I found references on
redirecting stdin and stdout and stderr, all of which I already knew.
What I couldn't find was *any* mention of was how to *use* stdin from
within a shell script. Anyone here ever done anything like this?
