[Dev-C++] pipe to a file?

[<ca...@kr...>]

hi Dev-cpp-users,

I have a difficult problem here and an idea how to solve it, which I
am not really sure of if it would be possible..

I have an application running that sends out alarmings. these alarms
are appended to a plain-text-file. one alarm == one line.

I want to write an application that puts itself where the file is, and
recieves the appendings, writes them to another file and several other
things.

I think this can maybe done by pipes, but I do not know how to do it.
an alarm should be treated like an event, when it occures something
has to be done about it (ring a bell :).

of course this application would need to run as a service.
I also need some hints or tutorials here, to write a service.
(I usually program for unix systems but that's really different..)

but first I need to get this append-problem solved.

thanks in advance!
