Rev

with a few modifications for the STARTED and COMPLETED message and this is working great. Thanks. One last question in my writer I have a write to the pipe, but then processing waits in the script until the reader reads from the pipe is there a way to make processing continue without waiting for reader?

@nbmlane, there's the same thing with the writer as with the reader, opening the fifo blocks until the other end is also opened. I don't think you can use FIFOs asynchronously, so that some data would be saved inside the FIFO until a future reader comes to get it. You need to arrange for the reader to have the FIFO open the whole time.
