Re: exit

Look at this:

address@hidden:~$ awk 'BEGIN { "date" | getline date; print date; system("sleep 
2"); "date" | getline date; print date }'

Wed Feb  4 13:27:36 CET 2004
address@hidden:~$ awk 'BEGIN { "date" | getline date; print date; system("sleep 
2"); "date -u" | getline date; print date }'
Wed Feb  4 13:27:48 CET 2004
Wed Feb  4 12:27:50 UTC 2004

This is probaby the same problem with descriptors. If i use two times the
same command through pipe i receive the same result. :(
