I am looking for a program that will dial a remote system (like tip) but will let you pipe its output to where ever you want to. The tip I have requires file descriptor 0 to be a tty so if I try to run it from cron, it quits. I have a small program that converts the data from the Naval Observatory clock in Washington DC to UNIX time but I need a way to place the call from cron once a day and pipe the data into my program. Thanks. -- Forking is Fun! William [i aM not a dweeb] Davidson Sandia National Laboratories (505) 846-1868 ...ucbvax!unmvax!intvax!davidson
