Now, if I hadn't tried it, I wouldn't have suggested it! It works for
me, and has worked interactively, and via a script. Now, if your
standard input is altered, even by you putting the script in
background (making it non-interactive) then the message won't be
printed.

Maybe you have a broken ksh? The one I have came with SVR3.2/68k
from Motorola. As a matter of fact, it even works with the Bourne
shell we have (as it should, because it's a standard test function).

Can you tell me what I'm doing right? :-)
