I wonder if anyone can help one of my colleges with a problem that has been teasing us a bit. What he would like to do is to concatenate stdin and some file so he can do something like: telnet <some-node> < <some-file> and when the file is exhausted telnet should continue accepting input from the keyboard and NOT exit due to an EOF-condition from the file. -Mogens -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Mogens Lynnerup + + UNI-C Aarhus, Danish Computing Centre for Research and Education. + + Olof Palmes Alle 38, DK 8200 Aarhus C. + + Phone: +45-86-784444 + + + + E-Mail: neulynne@uts.uni-c.dk or neulynne@vm.uni-c.dk + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How about: cat some-file /dev/tty | telnet I did something like this, only /dev/tty was first, because I needed to manually prime a complex piece of software.

Try using a command in the following form;
cat <some-file> - | telnet <some-node>
Refer to the following excerpt of the cat man page for confirmation of
how this works:
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates the first two files and places the result on
the third.
If no input file is given, or if the argument - is
encountered, cat reads from the standard input file,
enabling you to combine standard input with other files.
