    <p>I'm seeking for ways to write data to the existing process's <code>STDIN</code> from external processes, and found similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3792054/how-do-you-stream-data-into-the-stdin-of-a-program-from-different-local-remote-pr">How do you stream data into the STDIN of a program from different local/remote processes in Python?</a> in stackoverlow.</p> <p>In that thread, @Michael says that we can get file descriptors of existing process in path like below, and permitted to write data into them on Linux.</p> <pre><code>/proc/$PID/fd/ </code></pre> <p>So, I've created a simple script listed below to test writing data to the script's <code>STDIN</code> (and <code>TTY</code>) from external process.</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python import os, sys def get_ttyname(): for f in sys.stdin, sys.stdout, sys.stderr: if f.isatty(): return os.ttyname(f.fileno()) return None if __name__ == "__main__": print("Try commands below") print("$ echo 'foobar' &gt; {0}".format(get_ttyname())) print("$ echo 'foobar' &gt; /proc/{0}/fd/0".format(os.getpid())) print("read :: [" + sys.stdin.readline() + "]") </code></pre> <p>This test script shows paths of <code>STDIN</code> and <code>TTY</code> and then, wait for one to write it's <code>STDIN</code>.</p> <p>I launched this script and got messages below.</p> <pre><code>Try commands below $ echo 'foobar' &gt; /dev/pts/6 $ echo 'foobar' &gt; /proc/3308/fd/0 </code></pre> <p>So, I executed the command <code>echo 'foobar' &gt; /dev/pts/6</code> and <code>echo 'foobar' &gt; /proc/3308/fd/0</code> from other terminal. After execution of both commands, message <code>foobar</code> is displayed twice on the terminal the test script is running on, but that's all. The line <code>print("read :: [" + sys.stdin.readline() + "]")</code> was not executed.</p> <p>Are there any ways to write data from external processes to the existing process's <code>STDIN</code> (or other file descriptors), i.e. invoke execution of the line<code>print("read :: [" + sys.stdin.readline() + "]")</code> from other processes?</p>

    1. COWould a named pipe (see `man mkfifo`) do what you want?

    2. COThanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at named-pipe.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
