*Jackpot*! [bell ringing noise] Check this out: http://pastebin.com/RGBuRw0e It appears to work. It seems to me that the exec should not be needed -- that we should be able to set-up all the file descriptors using subshells and redirection on one line. But I can't quite figure out how/why to get that to happen, and I need sleep. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
