live examples on Filters and ioredirection
 

Hi,

I am new to linux. I have read few books on linux. But I wonder where IO Redirections and pipes and filters come in play with respect to linux. Can someone give me some examples of Pipes and filters and IO Redirection with respect to some linux file. Like how these things come in picture when we r working with linux.

Thanking you and waiting for some kind reply.

Thanks nixcrafts for your example but i want to know it with reference to some file of Linux itself. I dont want to know a rough example.

Well, the principle is the same anyway .... however, take a look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs
