Corona688,
Thanks for the info.

The && will cause the shell to wait before running the command after it, and should any of them fail, none of the ones after it will run. && is a conditional, it's not a background statement. Also, is there any particular reason that string of commands is all in one line? And what is 'echo exec' for, did you mean for that to be without the echo?

I think my line wrapped here when I pasted it which made it a little confusing. I was echoing out that string of commands and piping them into at. I thought that because they were being piped into at that I needed to keep them in the same statement because otherwise the second echo command wouldn't know about the fd assigned to the pipe, but I pretty sure your right that I don't need a fd descriptor. Also, with how I want to do develop this I don't really need to send multiple lines to the fifo without reopening the reader.
Thanks again,
Chris.
