Of course, this does result in a two-part script, but the seperation is

This design is mentioned alot. I understand it, and it would probobly
be best solution.

Does anybody have a simple two-bin C app that communicates over a pipe
that functions for this purpose? I suppose I could pull out my richard
stevens AUP...

I see this recommended alot. So somebody had to actualy sat down and
do this at some point. Care to share?
