Thanks for your hint, but I have the problem, that the program (which is a binary program) I am running out of my welcome script (which is a bash script) does not support the usage of stdin and stdout, but it demands the usage of a device for reading and writing. Is there a trick that I could use in the welcome script to redirect stdin and stdout to a "device" and use that device in the program, which is called from the welcome script. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
