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:
which hangs on the final echo command when I run it.
Interestingly, if I comment out the ls, or either echo command, it works fine.
So I'm trying to understand what's happening here. Hoping somebody could explain?
What I'm trying to do:
- capture stdout and stderr into a log file. [edit] correction: want to capture stdout and sterr to both display and log file[/edit]
- need to capture the return code of the command as well (ie $?) (hence why I'm mucking around with PIPE's so I can displace the tee command).
It seems to work sometimes, and then hang on other occasions, and I haven't found a pattern to it yet.
Hoping anyone can shed light on this - or provide a suitable work around.
Thanks!

Seems as soon as I do an ls, cp, mv or other disk access, it hangs on the next command?

I have a program, which opens this pipe and reads the messages from it.
But how this pipe works ? Where can I probably read something about the details,... (3 Replies)
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)
Hi,
I want to use a Named pipe to get input from a growing file for further processing. When I prototype this scenario using a while loop, the data is not written to the named pipe.
This the script I use to get data into the Named pipe:
#!/bin/ksh
mkfifo pipe
while (( n <= 10 ))
do

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)
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,

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