Under Unix, it'd be nice if stdin were immediately redirected to /dev/null and standard output to ./prog.out or something similar. This would come in handy when root writes to me in the middle of a long compile... --bsa (I don't know if 4.2 or SysV has the ability to do something similar if it's written into each separate program -- but a kernel-level method would be better than modifying and recompiling everything.) -- Brandon Allbery @ decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!bsa (..ncoast!tdi1!bsa business) 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, Ohio 44131 (216) 524-1416 Who said you had to be (a) a poor programmer or (b) a security hazard to be a hacker?
