So how do I let the programs I'm piping to think that there's no more
input?Not sure about the EOF, but I think you need to use IO#close_write
instead of IO#close.Thanks, it now works!
(I need to refresh my memory with Richard Stevens' Unix book...)
There's one more thing I would do: put the writing into a separate
thread. If buffers are not sufficiently large enough your version
deadlocks.
Kind regards
