[SOLVED]need help piping the output from an app... uh, yeah...
Ok, so there is a perl script that runs as a server, on my local host. It tells me which port to use. I want to pipe that output into my browser so I can do the whole thing with a single command. The problem is, I think, that the program doesn't actually exit cause it's running a server, so... so I dunno. Anyway the output looks like this:
... though obviously the port can be different. so, when I run 'foo.pl|grep http,' I just get the line with address, which is exactly what I want. I've tried a few things to get my browser to open this. So, at first I was trying this:
This doesn't work. It seems to start the server, but I don't get any output out of, so it's useless unless I check my ports manually. The browser doesn't start either. Then I tried this; cutting out the middle-man, as it were:
This starts the sever and the browser, but it doesn't actually point the browser at the server. not really sure what to try next. edit: bb is on the fritz right now or something. Formatting is really messed up

Hi,
I was wondering why ls * | echo does not print the contents of the directory to the screen? The way I see it, ls * returns a whole lot of information, and then we pipe all this info to echo, so surely it should all come to our screen!
Is there a serious flaw in my understanding?

Not sure why this does not work in bash:
tail -f err.log |&
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'

Hi all. I am using procmail to deliver an email to a script I am developing. Procmail delivers the email to the script on standard input. I imagine this is the same as piping input from a command into the script. Hence I've been testing my script by running

GIT-INSTAWEB(1) Git Manual GIT-INSTAWEB(1)NAME
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS
git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
[--browser=<browser>]
git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.
OPTIONS -l, --local
Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-d, --httpd
The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)
-m, --module-path
The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
-p, --port
The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
-b, --browser
The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
stdout.
start, --start
Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
stop, --stop
Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
the browser.
restart, --restart
Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
CONFIGURATION
You may specify configuration in your .git/config
[instaweb]
local = true
httpd = apache2 -f
port = 4321
browser = konqueror
modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
more information about this.
