} there an easy way to get a zsh script to read from standard input?
It should be reading everything except the commands themselves from the
standard input "by default." However, I'm puzzled when you say:
} ... rather than reading input from a file ...
What is it that you are doing to cause it to read from a file? That is,
when it's not a cgi, how do you run it?
} i tried a
} "while read ... ; do ... done" loop with no redirection of input, but that
} didn't seem to work right.
How exactly did it not work? What, if any, flags are you passing to read?
(For example, the -q flag will forcibly open /dev/tty ....)
} what am i missing here?
You can try "read -u0 ..." to force the input to come from file descriptor
zero, but I don't know why that would be necessary.
