I followed your advice on checking the returned value of read () and write (), read returns 4 bytes, which is the same as what write() returns, I believe that means I only get the chance to read the input from the child that finishes last, as he overwrites the pipe ?
At this point I only see 2 solutions for the problem, the one I already solved, and having a pipe for every child like shamrock suggested(an array of pipes maybe ?), will try the sham's proposal.
