## (Message goes here, use `code` and *foo* wisely)
|
||||
## Add < /dev/null to prevent ssh from swallowing stdin.
|
||||
|
||||
The same error applies to multiple commands, like `ffmpeg` and `mplayer`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Simple example of problematic code
|
||||
while read -r host
|
||||
do
|
||||
ssh "$host" "uptime"
|
||||
done < hosts.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Simple example of above code, only fixed
|
||||
while read -r host
|
||||
do
|
||||
ssh "$host" "uptime" < /dev/null
|
||||
done < hosts.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
(An explanation of why the code is problematic and how the correct code is an improvement)
|
||||
Commands that process stdin will compete with the `read` statement for input. This is especially tricky for commands you wouldn't expect reads from stdin, like `ssh .. uptime`, `ffmpeg` and `mplayer`.
|
||||
|
||||
The most common symptom of this is a `while read` loop only running once, even though the input contains many lines. The is because the rest of the lines are swallowed by the offending command.
|
||||
|
||||
To refuse such commands input, redirect their stdin with `< /dev/null`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
(Cases where the user may choose to ignore this warning, if any.)
|
||||
None.
