 How to pipe freshclam into urxvt via script? |
|
As the title suggests I want the script to first open urxvt, call freshclam, execute, then stay open till completion. As I'm not sure what I'm hoping for will even work, the library bit may be excluded for the time being.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/glibc-2.15:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ??? |
Realize this needn't be limited to freshclam. An example using wget would be equally as valid.
Thanks for any help..

Greetings, Semme.
An urxvt script that works for any CLI is this:
| Code: | #!bin/sh
# freshclam.sh
####
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/glibc-2.15:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# Remove the number sign in front of the above line if need be.
urxvt -e freshclam |
The "-e" tells urxvt to execute freshclam.
To keep urxvt opened until the CLI program has ended, the solution is simple : DO NOT add an ampersand ("&") at the end of the command line. (There are a few exceptions, but generally that works.)
The above script should open freshclam with its default parameters in the urxvt default window.
Enjoy!

Greetings Musher.
I see (and simpler than I thought). What I wasn't trying was an app that had some business remaining open, say..
| Code: | | xterm -e wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/wary-5.3/wary-5.3.iso |
Fact is I haven't swung over to Wary to proof the actual program.. a task I'll be addressing shortly..
Hopefully- I'll get the latest version running without the need for a rebuild.
Thanks again..
