Hey guys, messing around with a snippet from a mailing list post,
#!/bin/bash
mkfifo -m 666 /var/spool/my_fifo exec 42<> /var/spool/my_fifo
while true do while read -t 5 data <&42 do echo "data is ($data)" done echo "read again" done
What happens to this to invalidate the initial 'true' condition, it only runs for a short while?

No exit 0 status for sucess. Your while syntax is diff compared to what should be used like "while; true". It's only repetitive on exit 0 status.
