Ahem....
Code:

exec > f1
echo first line
while : ; do
       sleep 1
       echo yet another line
done

Launch that script in the background and then try the cat. The cat will work, but you should understand how to test it anyway.

macpack

macpack(Mono 1.0)														 macpack(Mono 1.0)

NAME

       macpack - Macintosh OS X Packager for managed gui assemblies

SYNOPSIS

       macpack [options] assembly

DESCRIPTION

       macpack	is a tool used to package managed assemblies (like System.Windows.Forms or Cocoa#) that require gui availability for deployment on
       Mac OS X.

       macpack will prepare a OS X compatible bundle from the provided assembly and resources.	The bundle will include the specified assembly	as
       well as any of the provided resources (specified with the -resource: switch).

       Developers  can	specify the kind of application to produce using the -mode: argument.  This controls how the environment in the Mono class
       libraries is setup.

OPTIONS

       -a assembly

       This option tells macpack where the managed assembly that you want to bundle resides.  This option is also  used  to  point  to	the  shell
       script to launch in the case of a X11/Gtk# application.

       This is the same as just passing the assembly as an argument.

       -m [winforms,x11,console,cocoa] or -mode:[winforms,x11,console,cocoa]

       A  value indicating the kind of application: WinForms is a Winforms application running on Quartz;  X11 is an application that requires the
       X11 server to run;  console is a non-graphical application;  cocoa is an application based on Cocoa#

       -n NAME or -appname:NAME

       This option specifies the application name of the emitted bundle.  This is what you will see in Finder.

       -o DIRECTORY or -output:DIRECTORY

       This option specifies the path to output the generated Application.

       -r RESOURCE or -resource:RESOURCE

       This option can be specified multiple times.  It will place a copy of each resource into the bundles resources  directory.   Alternatively,
       you can use a comma separated list of resources.
