Can you talk to said "Somebody"? Or do you work in an environment where communication between coworkers is forbidden?

    Sadly the situation is quitly political more then tecnical. You know how sometimes logic goes lost in political decicions. I am sadly not able to change external.sh nor ask for an update. I hoped actually to solve that in my PERL-Program. Like greping the child-process and send STDIN there or something like that. And "Somebody" left the company and (lucky guy) went to Australia 2 years ago. He was a nice guy who would have bypassed the political decicion in order to get things done.

      1. Don't try to use technical solutions to fix political problems.
      2. Talk to the next "Somebody". Or do you work for a company where code is considered sealed and unmodifiable when the original author left the company?

        I guess the Problem there is that they really didn't look for a similar replacement for that guy. And they want to decomission that Programm. But we still need it. But either way thank you all. And yes, I work in a very restrictive company.
