Dunno 'bout simpler, but how about making a named pipe (mknod -p), spawn a process to read the pipe, then run each of the above as a process writing to the named pipe? A meaningless demo: ==START SCRIPT mknod foobar p (exec 0<foobar; while read INLINE do echo "READER: $INLINE" >>OutFile; done; exit 0;)& (sleep 2;echo "Proc 1"; echo "Output 1";exit 0) 2>&1 >foobar& (sleep 1;echo "Proc 2"; echo "Output 2";exit 0) 2>&1 >foobar& (sleep 9;echo "Proc 3"; echo "Output 3";exit 0) 2>&1 >foobar& (sleep 4;echo "Proc 4"; echo "Output 4";exit 0) 2>&1 >foobar& rm foobar; ==END SCRIPT -- Dave Ihnat ignatz@xxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
