Edit Question
Title
Body
I want to send some data to a root process with a named pipe. Here is the script and it works great: #!/bin/sh pipe=/tmp/ntp if [[ ! -p $pipe ]]; then mknod -m 666 $pipe p fi while true do if read line <$pipe; then /root/netman/extra/bin/ntpclient -s -h $line > $pipe 2>&1 fi done I actually have several script like this one. I would like to enclose all of them in a single script. The problem is that execution blocks on the first "read" and I cannot execute multiple "reads" in a single process. Isn't there anything I can do? Is it possible to have a "non-blocking" bash read?
