Thanks for the hints...
.. even if less straight forward than I had hoped !

Patrick Brunschwig used to work on ipccode, the XPCOM library that is able
to read/write from a process's stdin/stdout. He uses it to communicate
with gpg for Enigmail (Thunderbird addon).

I don't know what the status of this code is, but from reading
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68702 it looks like it works,
it does precisely what you want, and it no longer requires C++ parts since
it's been rewritten using js-ctypes.
Cheers,
jonathan

its a while since I used the ns interfaces. I want to run

how do I pass as arguments in nsiProcess?
I asssume the file names must be prefixed with c:\\
is this correct?

This will not work. the < and > are only parsed by a shell, they are not
true commandline arguments. nsIProcess does not run its arguments
through a shell, so you can't redirect things that way. I don't think we
have any platform support for running processes and redirecting their
I/O.

Can you run a shell script using nsiProcess? Or even the shell (cmd,
bash, etc) itself?
