I have something similar.
stuff | my.script
Then in the script...
#!/bin/ksh
while :
do
read var1 var2 var3....
process the data
read whole_line
process some more
done
cat won't work, because that reads the whole file, then ends. If you need
to do something like that, use "tail -f". In my case the program I'm
reading from takes care of that.

Subject: named-pipe in a loop
I would like to create an infinite loop, in a shell script, based upon
listening to named pipe. Does anyone know how to do this?
