rvlc and stdin

[albert60]

I believe that rvlc reads commands from stdin. I create a file which name is input and contains the command : help.
And I wrote the following command :

Code: Select all

rvlc < /home/assia/Téléchargements/input.txt

I thought that's way I can open the menu of help and "wait" for another command. Instead I get this :

Code: Select all

It's like I wrote also the command shut down.
Can anyone explain to me please why this is hapening ??
Thanks for your help

EOF triggers shutdown.

Ok
The problem is that I want to create a loop to write the command info in rvlc periodically.
Is that possible ??
