why is it that some commands like "ls" and "which" won't accept pipes? echo /etc | ls (will just list the current directory, not /etc) echo ppp | which (does nothing ... no /usr/sbin/ppp) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- also - how does one get sh scripts to accept piped input ... ?
