I'm not a unix guru. What is this pipe command attempting to do? The "head" command displays the first hunk of a file. So this attempts to print the first hunk of the file /bin/true? (I don't see an option for head of "-#".) That doesn't make sense. Were you instead attempting to take the executed result of /bin/true (a 1) and place it in the input stream 100 times? Dan |
