Hi, where or whom should I ask not-so-easy bash questions? The one special question or problem is:
I want to start a program in a shell script, get the filedescriptor for its standard input and let other programs, which I want to start after the first program, writer there standard output into the first ones standard in (ie make a /bin/program >&filedescriptor). A workaround would be to put braces around the programs and pipe the output of the so started sub-shell into the program ( program_number_1; program_number_2; ... program_number_n; ) | first_program But thats way to ugly for me ... Whom can I ask? Where can I look ?
