ksh: cmd output to input of another script
I want to write a script in KSH that takes the output of one command and redisplays it. Something like:

Code:
while true
do
	read inpt
	date +"%I:%M:%S %p <-> $inpt"
done
and then some how get the output of the ping command to redirect to the input of this script.

does that make sense?
