Wellll, the pipes business is _inside_ crm114 when it does as
'syscall' itself (i.e. execute a 'syscall' statement in a CRM script).
Otherwise, crm114 is just a nice little AWK on steroids. :-)

Phui! <scratches head like baboon>

Don't know for sure. There's nothing requiring crm114 ever quits
executing it's script, so you might try to daemonize it that way from
the inside out (maybe using crm script syscalls to get it to wait for
input - but that's a thought just now and it worries me already I
thought of it like that...). Of course, long-running scripts should
use 'syscall /sleep/' alike somethings to keep the OS happy as you'd
otherwise achieve 100% load, but it's doable, sure.


Regarding mailreaver though: it expects its feed in stdin at the start
of the script, so you'll need to apply a bit of extra work there then.
I have a changed mailreaver here which eats from a file too, but
that's not ready for service yet.

Mind if I take a cloth and put it over my head and cover? I'd rather
wait for the big brass (Bill & Paolo & ...) to provide an answer to
this question of yours.

Well, seems to me Bill already did that part of the job for you already :-)
Just a bit of testing with some nasty javascript/AJAX feeds, rotten
HTML without sufficient close tags + 'compressed' formatting and a bit
of XHTML and we'll know if it'll withstand the downpour.
