List, I want to make a buffer for my application to write log data to. I've created a fifo (`mkfifo /tmp/buf`) Then I made my PERL script that reads from /tmp/buf. Other programs open and write to /tmp/buf but when they close then my program that is reading from /tmp/buf stops. I want the script that reads and buffers (then parses and other such stuff) not to close when the other folks are done writing to the fifo at /tmp/buf. Ideas? Should I just loop and re-open after every close (seems bad).
