It looks like your little script snippit solved all my problems plus I feel like I've learned a lot as well, for which I'm greatful.
One quick thing though. When you have the "while read FILE", how does it know that the FILE is the /tmp/$$ file?
Glad it worked for you.
It doesn't -- it just reads from standard input. But the </tmp/$$ tells it what "standard input" is supposed to be, at the bottom of the loop.
Imagine it like this:
...except that there's an entire loop involved:
...in which the file gets opened once and put into standard input for read and anything else inside the loop to read as it pleases.
You can do that, in shell -- redirect the input and/or output of entire loops and statements:

I have a feeling it might be something with my if then statements within the case... (2 Replies)
Production C code compiled without the dash-g option is running, and seems to be in an infinite loop. Is there a way to tell? Is there a diagnostic tool that will report what objects or what lines of code or even what functions are being executed?
Or is my best option to kill it with a dump?

APPLE_DUMP(1) Netatalk 2.2 APPLE_DUMP(1)NAME
apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file
SYNOPSIS
apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f FILE
apple_dump -d FILE
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version
DESCRIPTION
apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.
OPTIONS -a FILE|DIR
This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If
FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.
-f FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.
-d FILE
Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.
-h, -help, --help
Display the help and exit
-v, -version, --version
Show version and exit
NOTE
There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent
directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.
If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another file.
