| Well, I found the answer to my own question.
|
| touch bitbucket
| chmod +x bitbucket
|
| Then
| ll | bitbucket
|
| works well.
Until the ll output pipe fills up.
My first suggestion is "why?" For example, if I wanted the ll
output to go nowhere, I would type:
ll >/dev/null
Second, if you *really* need a process, use
cat >/dev/null
as in:
ll | cat >/dev/null
yucky yucky kludge. But it fits your requested parameters.
Just another Unix hacker,
