Gurus,
I did my research (on google, this site and my local library) but I am *still* lost. I am trying to teach myself about `named pipes` playing around with MKFIFO (Why not?).

The following code does not work (zsh, Solaris), but works without the first line (files instead of pipes) :confused:
mkfifo p1 p2
echo "Hello" | tee p1 > p2 &
paste p1 p2
I would high appreciate any help to fix it. (9 Replies)
