Re^2: Interact external Program's child.

Hello Keszler, thank you for the quick answer.

I have also thought something like that. But sadly there are 2 things which stands on my way. 1st is that I have no policy to edit the external.sh. the 2nd one was that I wanted to make my own version of it, and when I looked at it, it appeard that:

 more /tools/external.sh
^?ELF^A^B^A^B^B^A^Aj^X4^C-È4 ^F(^X^V^F4^A4ÀÀ^E^Cô^Q^D^A^A^C^Qü^C^Qü^E^

Well that makes it more difficult. If you're running Solaris 8 or 9, or 10 if you have root, the command `/usr/ucb/ps -aeguxwwwww <pid of java ExternalPG>` should show you the complete command-line and environment variables. With that you could try calling `open3` directly on `java ExternalPG ...` to bypass whatever IO redirection `external.sh` is doing. update - missed the 'e' in the ps command	[reply] [d/l] [select]

first of all let's see if is really a bash script `file external.sh` I have no policy to edit the external.sh Can you read-only open it? If you can, then let's see if zless can open it or not `zless external.sh`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

file external.sh shows that it's a ksh-script. zless does not work, but as mentioned to JavaFan, my problem there is not tecnically. I'm not allowed to change/edit/copy that file. It belongs to another OrgUnit which has a very isolated politic.	[reply]

file external.sh shows that it's a ksh-script. That conflicts with the output of "more /tools/external.sh".	[reply]

It looks like an ELF binary, as shown by the more statement. Which makes me think it's highly unlikely to be decompressable into something humanly readable.	[reply]
