Thank you for reminding me of why I shall never, ever learn shell scripting and shall forever stick with Perl. :)

Thanks for your help guys, but I'm still stumped. Script may well work but I need to do all this from a perl script. 1) execute external program from perl 2) using perl or shell scripting magic, log the programs output and user input 3) use perl to check the exit status of the program I've tried using perl's open3, but then stdout/stderr/stdin all get piped to perl :(	[reply]
