Suppose I have this C++ program: #include <iostream> int main (int argc, char** argv) { while (1) { char cmd[80]; std::cin.getline(cmd, 80); std::cout << "response to " << cmd << std::endl; } } compiled by: c++ -o junk junk.cpp and I have this bash script: #!/bin/bash ./junk <<EOF blah bleh \cC EOF echo "Something else" When I run the script, the program starts and waits for input forever. I have 2 questions: 1) The "blah" and "bleh" line are not echoed to cout. Why not? Does the here document not send the data to stdin? 2) How do I terminate the program? When run interactively, I use <ctrl>-C. Thanks, Steve
