would seem to me that having stdin sent to a process of your choice is
definitely more "erlangy" than doing file:reads (if there was some back
pressure). But using open_port still seems a little bit dirty to me... :-)
It might be a bit difficult to explain to a newbie and also has the added
disadvantage of using extra command line options (-user as in Ulfs example
at the shootout). </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>I should mention that I had the same problem with the "stdin as file"
approach. I had to patch escript.c and change "-noshell" to "-noinput". Does
anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
