Ahhh ... I see what you're saying with the active ips file...I didn't pay attention to the < for input instead of output.

So I try it, and I get output of the discovery nmapping the first IP, then I get ports output of the first ip, and then it outputs the ports again for the next ip in the file, then it outputs the ports again for the next ip in the file, and then eventually the Discovery output comes out for the 2nd ip in the file. It's like the 2 functions are running independent of each other. The goal is Discovery for first IP, then Ports for First IP, then Discovery for 2nd, Ports for second...and so on.

The script you have is doing the same thing my original one is...where the 2 functions seem to run loops of their own without regard to each other

lo

LO(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     LO(4)

NAME

     lo -- software loopback network interface

SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device
     loop

DESCRIPTION

     The loop interface is a software loopback mechanism which may be used for performance analysis, software testing, and/or local communication.
     As with other network interfaces, the loopback interface must have network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be
     used.  These addresses may be set or changed with the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2).  The loopback interface should be the last interface configured,
     as protocols may use the order of configuration as an indication of priority.  The loopback should never be configured first unless no hard-
     ware interfaces exist.

DIAGNOSTICS

     lo%d: can't handle af%d.  The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
     dropped.

SEE ALSO

     inet(4), intro(4), ns(4)

HISTORY

     The lo device appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS

     Previous versions of the system enabled the loopback interface automatically, using a nonstandard Internet address (127.1).  Use of that
     address is now discouraged; a reserved host address for the local network should be used instead.
