Jun 8	comment	Filter launchctl standard err/out to add timestamp to log messages Also, instead of using the named pipe, the LaunchDaemon plist program can run complex shell commands using `bash -c [shell command]`. This command can contain redirection, piping, and everything. Consequently, I was able to pipe the first program's output through a script that added time stamps. (Answer found in this other question.)
Jun 7	comment	Filter launchctl standard err/out to add timestamp to log messages For future reference, it seems like this is possible using a named pipe, which can be created as a file-like object in the file system using the `mkfifo mypipe` command. Once created, read from it with eg. `cat < path/to/mypipe`, and write to it (try in another terminal window) with eg. `echo 'Foo!' > path/to/mypipe`. (NB. Auto-corrupt botched up my thank you in the previous comment. Sorry about that, patrix...)
Jun 7	comment	Filter launchctl standard err/out to add timestamp to log messages Yeah, that's how I was doing it in the meantime. Thanks, matrix! Other than that, I was looking for a UNIX-y thing where you can write to a script as if to a file, but letting the script handle the input instead.
