How can I create a daemon process out of VFind™?
The easy way to make a daemon process out of VFind is to create two named pipes. Use one named pipe to input data to VFind and use another named pipe to read output from VFind.

To feed data to the daemon write it to the named pipe at the head of the process. To extract data from the daemond process read it from the named pipe at the end of the process. The daemon will stay in background until it is killed. Updated Pipe scripts for VFind-13.6.0. README pipe2.tar.Z – These are example scripts for using multiple VFind daemon processes run in the background using named pipes for input. For VFind-13.6.0 Example scripts for earlier versions of VFind: pipe1.txt – Text file explaining pipe1.sh and file1.sh scripts pipe1.sh – Example script to startup VFind as a daemon process using named pipes. file1.sh – Example script to pro
