Yes, the fifo & listening process is all set up just fine. Note that
I mentioned that writing to the fifo via 'do shell script "echo ..."'
worked as expected.
Ah, right. The shell will block if there's no reader. My bad.
I get the same result - generic I/O error (-36) on attempt to open
with write permission, although AppleScript will read from a FIFO
fine.
I believe what's happening is that AppleScript is trying to open the
pipe for read and write at the same time; there's no syntax in
AppleScript's open command to open for write-only. And you can't open
a pipe for rw, only for either r or w.
