Hi,

I have some big shell script that may require user input. Using `pipeProcess` doesn't work as `pipe` doesn't allow user to provide custom input (FIXME).

I am creating some temporary files, put the script contents to that file and then invoke

[code]
spawnProcess([/path/to/shell, /path/to/temporary/script/file]);
[/code]

This works well with user interaction. However I don't really like the idea of using temporary files. Is there any better way?

Thanks for your reading.

Maybe take a look at:
