Create a fifo and write a shell script that loops over reading from this fifo and pipes it into sic's stdin. Something like mkfifo channel_in while cat channel_in do : done | sic -h irc.oftc.net -n logger > channel_out.log And then you send commands or input to sic like this: echo :j #suckless > channel_in echo Good morning suckless > channel_in Cheers, Anselm
