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?
Thanks!
