Hi Robin,
JackK knows
cmd2 can read data from
cmd1. He wants to know how
cmd1 can also read data from
cmd2.
Hi JackK,
Send email to yourself, send a message to a message queue, write to a regular file, write to a FIFO file, send a signal, write some text into a shared memory segment... There are hundreds of ways to do this.
What shell are you using?
What operating system are you using?
What is the format of this message you want to send?
What are these two processes doing besides sending data to each other with a pipe being used for sending messages between the two processes in one direction?
