in reply to defeating STDIN redirection

Are you saying that any keyboard activity while the script is running gets re-directed to the file that you're naming on the command line? What's inside the script?

I think more information is needed.

    I have to agree, more info is needed, can you post us up some of your script? Usually if you want STDIN to read your input from the keyboard, you could syntax it something like this:

    print "What do you want to break today?: "; chomp( $command = <STDIN> );


    Just as a crude example. Can we please see some code?
