Yeah, it sound weird. What I have is 72 files containing a lot of secuity data from our z/OS RACF system. To save space, all these files are bzip2'ed - each individually. I am writing some Perl scripts to process this data. The Perl script basically reformats the data in such a way that I can put it easily into a PostgreSQL database. If I want to run each Perl script individually, it is simple:
bzcat data*bz2 | perl script1.pl | psql database bzcat data*bz2 | perl script2.pl | psql database and so on. I don't want to try to merge the scripts together into a single, complicated, script. I like what I have in that regard. But I don't like running the bzcat twice to feed into each Pel script. Is something like the following possible? mkfifo script1.fifo mkfifo script2.fifo bzcat data*bz2 | tee script1.fifo >script2.fifo & perl script1.pl <script1.fifo & perl script2.pl <script2.fifo & ??? What about more than two scripts concurrently? What about "n" scripts? John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
