This is a sort of branch from this question (specifically avoiding the race condition pointed out by jmb): How can I send the stdout of one process to multiple processes using (preferably unnamed) pipes in Unix (or Windows)?
I want to execute a process in such a way that its output is displayed on the screen plus piped to a second process, but that my terminal is not released until both processes are complete. For example, if I had:
foo.sh
echo "FOO"
bar.sh:
read inp
sleep 5
echo "BAR${inp}BAR"
And then ran:
foo.sh | tee >(bar.sh)
I'd like to get the output:
FOO
BARFOOBAR
> <--terminal released after bar (total time 5s)
but instead I get:
FOO
>BARFOOBAR <--terminal released after foo in ~0s, before bar.sh returns at 5s
Is there an easy way to do this? The only way I can think of right now is to instead call everything like this:
foo.sh | bar.sh
and then rewrite bar.sh such that it continually checks its STDIN and prints this to screen, but this seems like a very inelegant way of solving the problem.
Thanks for the help!
