in thread capturing output of system call inside a thread

I doubt anyone can teach you anything. Especially not what a sense of humour is!

Since you appear to have missed the point, in my good-natured post nudging the guy with question and the guy with the answer to just get on with it, I'll restate that I learn something from everything you share.

Now carry on :-)

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    I was gonna let this slide; but f*** it. You need to learn a lesson.

    There is nothing funny in your post; unless you consider ignorance, funny.

      Well yes, of course ignorance is funny. Consider the classic gag in everything from Buster Keaton, to Tom and Jerry, to Clouseau and Kato ... the whole point is that neither of them know that there's another guy around the corner, but the audience does. That's why it's funny when they both surprise each other.

      In my post that you found so offensive, I was poking fun at the fact that you and the OP had gone back and forth a bunch of times without getting what the other was saying, even though it appeared clear on both sides to me.

      Some people just can't be the butt of a joke. Noted.

      The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

        Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I was trying to make a point to the OP? Trying to draw out the distinction between a thread and a process perhaps?

        Your (at best) puerile interjection in an exploratory, and perfectly polite, subthread was unnecessary, unwarranted, and unhelpful.

        And you continuing to try and wrap your puerility as humour is just sad.
