Hi All,
I am facing a vague issue while trying to make two process talk to each
other using named pipe.

The process which reads, basically creates FIFO using
mkfifo - ret_val = mkfifo(HALF_DUPLEX, 0666);) func.

Gurus,
I've a File Transaction Server, which communicates with other servers and performs some processing.It uses many Named PIPE's.
By mistake i copied a named PIPE into a text file.
I heard that PIPE files shouldn't be copied.Isn't it?
Since it's a production box, i'm afraid on... (2 Replies)
I want to copy the contents of a named pipe to a file. I have tried using:
cat pipe.p >> transcript.log
but I have been unsuccessful, any ideas? (4 Replies)
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)
Hello,
On my machine, all mail is stored in my /var/spool/mail.
IS there a way to direct all mail that goes there into a namep pipe?
Thank you,

I would like to pipe (redirect ? - what is the right term?) the output of my script to a file named with the current date.
If I run this at a command prompt:
date +'%Y%m%d"
...it returns "20110429"
OK, that's good... so I try:
./script.sh > "'date +%Y%m%d'.csv"
I get a file... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am getting data into a Named pipe. Does Named pipe have any size restriction; I know it does not have any storage and it just passes on the data to the next process.
I want to know, if there will be a difference in the Named pipe performance if the data input is more. (I am using DB2... (1 Reply)
I have a ksh93 script I use that processes a file list in the order that they exist in the list. I would like to speed up processing of the list by having multiple processes handle it at once. I was thinking that perhaps a good way to handle this would be to write the list to a named pipe and some... (4 Replies)
Ok, I can't seem to figure this out or find anything on the web about this.
I'm on Sun Solaris, UNIX.
I have the following test script:
#!/bin/ksh
touch test.file
LOG=./tmp.log
rm -f ${LOG}
PIPE=./tmp.pipe
mkfifo ${PIPE}
trap "rm -f ${PIPE}" EXIT
tee -a ${LOG} < ${PIPE} &

test(1F) FMLI Commands test(1F)NAME
test - condition evaluation command
SYNOPSIS
test expression
expression
DESCRIPTION
test evaluates the expression expression and if its value is true, sets a 0 (TRUE) exit status; otherwise, a non-zero (FALSE) exit status
is set; test also sets a non-zero exit status if there are no arguments. When permissions are tested, the effective user ID of the process
is used.
All operators, flags, and brackets (brackets used as shown in the second SYNOPSIS line) must be separate arguments to test. Normally these
items are separated by spaces.
USAGE
Primitives
The following primitives are used to construct expression:
-r filename True if filename exists and is readable.
-w filename True if filename exists and is writable.
-x filename True if filename exists and is executable.
-f filename True if filename exists and is a regular file.
-d filename True if filename exists and is a directory.
-c filename True if filename exists and is a character special file.
-b filename True if filename exists and is a block special file.
-p filename True if filename exists and is a named pipe (FIFO).
-u filename True if filename exists and its set-user-ID bit is set.
-g filename True if filename exists and its set-group-ID bit is set.
-k filename True if filename exists and its sticky bit is set.
-s filename True if filename exists and has a size greater than 0.
-t[fildes] True if the open file whose file descriptor number is fildes (1 by default) is associated with a terminal
device.
-z s1 True if the length of string s1 is 0.
-n s1 True if the length of the string s1 is non-zero.
s1 = s2 True if strings s1 and s2 are identical.
s1 != s2 True if strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
s1 True if s1 is not the null string.
n1 -eq n2 True if the integers n1 and n2 are algebraically equal. Any of the comparisons -ne, -gt, -ge, -lt, and -le
may be used in place of -eq.
Operators
These primaries may be combined with the following operators:
! Unary negation operator.
-a Binary and operator.
-o Binary or operator (-a has higher precedence than -o).
`(expression)` Parentheses for grouping. Notice also that parentheses are meaningful to the shell and, therefore,
must be quoted.

SEE ALSO find(1), sh(1), attributes(5)NOTES
If you test a file you own (the -r , -w , or -x tests), but the permission tested does not have the owner bit set, a non-zero (false) exit
status will be returned even though the file may have the group or other bit set for that permission. The correct exit status will be set
if you are super-user.
The = and != operators have a higher precedence than the -r through -n operators, and = and != always expect arguments; therefore, = and !=
cannot be used with the -r through -n operators.
If more than one argument follows the -r through -n operators, only the first argument is examined; the others are ignored, unless a -a or
a -o is the second argument.
