inputkill

inputkill(1)						      General Commands Manual						      inputkill(1)

NAME

       inputkill - run a command until standard input is closed

SYNOPSIS

       inputkill [options] <command> [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION

       inputkill runs a given command until standard input is closed.  inputkill passes on all file descriptors except for standard input; command
       is given no standard input.

       inputkill is useful for promptly exiting a program ran via ssh when the connection is closed. For example, ssh host inputkill sleep 60 runs
       the command sleep on the computer named host until either sixty seconds elapse or the ssh connection is terminated.

       The  argument "--" disables argument parsing for all proceeding arguments; e.g. "inputkill ls -l" will pass "-l" to inputkill and run "ls",
       whereas "inputkill -- ls -l" will run "ls -l".

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
	      Display version information.

       -?, --help
	      Display a summary of command line options.
