Hello all,

Following is a short shell script that always bombs out after the rsh
line.

Does anyone know if this is a bug, and if so is there a way around it.

I've tried both the k and c shells to no avail.

The do loop should execute about 100 times in my example,
but after the first loop it just drops back to the command prompt.

========================================
ls|
while read line
do
  rsh xhost ls -al /soft/bin/$line
done
=====================================

Thanks
