Piping STDIN to a script

avantgarden · 29 April 2020, 11:45

Hello powerusers!

I'm trying to develop a small daemon for AmiTCP.

AmiTCP V3 lacks the "DOS" option in inetd.conf. This don't allow to use the Arexx Web Server for example. Inetd programs can only be binaries (AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong!).

My "daemonizer" software written in Blitz2 should work like this:

Code:

dmnz stream tcp nowait root dmnz path:to/yourdosscript

It should pipe data in and out from the socket and pass it to the script.

But is that even possible in Kick 2.1?

Code:

execute myscript <test_data

...doesn't work as expected!

My test script looks like this:

Code:

set a `type *`
echo $a
quit

I'd expect the script to echo back STDIN to STDOUT. Also "type <*" fails.

Is this asking too much under Kick 2.1? ("version shell" gives 37.69)

Is this relevant here?

Any workaround possible?
Thanks a lot!!
