Indeed works like a charm, but be careful! Does not work with tied filehandles Does a fork, so if you have open database connections or other external links, be extra careful. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

Indeed :) some pointers for anyone finding this with search... while( <STDIN> ) blocks, (while can't assume the format is done printing, even if we know the exact # of lines being written) ... solved by exiting the while on N written lines since I know N. this is being run from a daemon... which is a child process all too itself. the daemon runs this capture on X formats every K seconds... each pipe is a new child process... defuncts like WOAH! :) remember to reap children Re: Unix Review column	[reply]
