Mayad, So, are you saying that you know the responses that this application needs and can put them in a file? If so, is this what you did when you said you tried redirecting stdin? First try running your application wihout using STAF and redirect stdin as well as stdout/stderr. For example, assuming you put the responses in a file named /tmp/stdin.txt, does your application run successfully when running it from a shel) and when specifying this stdin file and redirecting stdout and stderr as follows (this syntax assumes you're running it from a Bourne shell on your Linux machine:
# yourCommand < /tmp/stdin.txt > /tmp/stdout.txt 2>&1 If so, then try running it using the STAF PROCESS service. In addition to redirecting stdin, make sure that you also redirect stdout and stderr. For example, assuming you replace "yourCommand" with the actual command you use to run this application, what is the result from the following? STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "yourCommand" STDIN /tmp/stdin.txt STDOUT /tmp/stdout.txt STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 "Mayad AL-Saidi" <mayad.al-sa...@cmgl.ca> 03/03/2010 03:06 PM To David Bender/Austin/i...@ibmus cc staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject Re: [staf-users] Running a linux process in foreground I'm trying to run an application that reads input from the console.

Is there a way to do that using STAF? I've tried to send the request with STAF running in the foreground but the process would still run as a background job. Thanks and I really appreciate all the help.
