Yours is an unusual problem. It's not often you need to guarantee your code works when the system can't. No matter how far down you push it, the data is still going to be waiting in memory sometime -- what if the system dies before you finish writing to your temp file? Even a journalling filesystem can't avoid losing data that hasn't been written yet.

I did
cat < myFile >> myPipe
I was hoping that if I did ls -l, myPipe would now be holding the contents of myFile, and would be the same size. But it was 0.
Also strange was that when I did the command above, cat did not return control back to the shell. Why?
thanks (4 Replies)
