Hi, I want to do the following: Btw, I don't know if & meaning I think run processes in background has any effect on my question but it's there w/the actual commands so I'm adding it. So one process runs and is piped into a second process. $ process1 | process2 & Is there a way I can pipe process1 into process3 (and still pipe into precess2) ? So process1 runs and process2 and process3 run in parallel both feed by process1. So like test.txt file w/content: a b c --- then $ cat test.txt | grep a $ a $ cat test.txt | grep c $ c I want cat test.text to feed both greps at the same time and maybe get output like: $ac I tried the tee command w/no luck. Is there a way to do this on one line at one time? Thanks. using Ubuntu w/Bash.
