Yes - after you have finished outputting the information to IRC, you need to close the file pointer to the program, so it returns.

Use

Code:

close $input

After the while loop.

i have following code:
set host [lindex [string tolower $text] 0]
set hostpath "/usr/local/bin/host"
set input [open "|$hostpath $host "]
while {![eof $input]} {
set tmp [gets $input]
putchan $channel "$tmp"
}
problem is that i got on shell:
tR 21964 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z May04 0:00 [host ]
tR 21977 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z May04 0:00 [host ]
processes after executing that a few times.
Someone knows how to fix/avoid that?
Thanx in advance, tR
