Hi Gabriel, thanks for modifying the code to make it work. I've just tried tinkering with it to see how far it would go. On your two statements above: does this means that any data must be sent in one batch and then the subprocess must shut down? What I was trying to simulate is a client/server relationship through a subprocess, where the server (the subprocess) keeps listening and the client sends data when it wants to (and eventually viceversa). But when the server.stdin.close() statement is issued, the pipe is closed for good and can't be reopened (can it?). > - you have to wait until the server answers, else it will get a "broken > pipe" error or similar. So, if I want to interrogate the subprocess multiple times I must end and restart the ListenerThread multiple times then? In the meantime, I better brush up on my streams... =) Thanks for your help!
