Master of Reality:
wouldnt it just be something like
rpm -qa | grep pimp
that would search the rpm database and find RPMS with the word pimp in them.

or somthin like
cat /var/run/windows.pid | xargs kill -9
which would read the file named /var/run/windows and then kill whatever cat outputs (which would be the pid)

voidmain:
$ ls -alp | ssh username@host "cat > /tmp/ls.txt"

would list the directory contents of the current directory on the local client and pipe the output to the "cat" command on the remote server and redirect it to /tmp/ls.txt on the remote server...

voidmain:
Oh yeah, try *that* in Windows unixluser.

Alright, this helps a lot. thanks. So it is the same, I was just having problems with ssh as I couldn't send anything to the password prompt. All goes well now.

Stryker:
Is it possible to do:
echo apassword | su
(despite it's incredible insecurity, is it possible?)
