in reply to Problem with FIFO

You might change that >> to >. Not sure what that seek to end-of-file on a pipe does, but definitely nothing useful ;-).

A close(FIFO) sends an EOF to the other side, you shouldn't close the pipe until you are finished with it (or you should expect to see those EOFs on the other side)

If this still doesn't help, post the code on the other side of the pipe, this is only half the picture

    Thank you for the response. I changed ">>" to ">" and moved the OPEN/CLOSE portion to outside the loop.
