For some reason when using the sh shell on my system, even the following does not work:
xfractint -disk -geometry 800x600 batch=yes savename=tmp001.gif \ type=phoenix >&- 2>&- <&-
But, remove the <&-, and all is fine.
Yes, this is consistent with my experience. When I remove the <&- (don't close stdin), it works, but I get all the curses output (escape codes), even though I have closed stderr and stdout. If I close stdin, then I don't get the escape codes, but some parfiles don't work and exit immediately. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
