This question already has an answer here:



  • combine output from two commands in bash

    5 answers



I have two programs foo.sh and bar.sh both of which contain infite loops, produce continuous Output and should run in parallel. I would like to pipe the output of both those programs to a third program consumer.



Initially I only had foo.sh running and the piping was easy via



./foo.sh | ./consumer


But now I would like to add bar.sh to also send its output to consumer.



I have tried the things suggested in those answers (Answer 1, Answer 2) but they only seem to work for programs where one ends and the next gets started after the first one ends. I need them both to run in parallel.



This does not work, as it only pipes the output of foo.sh and never starts bar.sh:



( ./foo.sh ; ./bar.sh ) | ./consumer


This lucky guess gave me a syntax error: 



( ./foo.sh & ; ./bar.sh & ) | ./consumer





pipe io-redirection background-process

    Did answer 1's command1 & command2; | ... not work for you?

  • To me it seemed it was only piping the output of command1 but never starting command2, as command1 will run indefinitely.

  • How did it seem that way? It doesn't do that, but that's not to say there wasn't some other issue that's your real problem.

  • ok sorry for the wording. It only pipes the Output of command1, command2 is never started. If I reverse them, I get it the other way around.

    Yeah, exactly, that's not how it works, so you do have a different problem. command1 runs in the background and command2 starts shortly after. Try yes y & yes n ; | cat and see. You may need to provide your actual commands for someone to help you.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this
