SYNOPSIS

       multipipe [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       multipipe  starts  one  supervise  process for each subdirectory of the
       current directory.  multipipe skips subdirectory  names  starting  with
       dots.  Each supervised processes is piped a copy of standard input sent
       to multipipe.

       Every five seconds, multipipe checks for subdirectories again.   If  it
       sees  a new subdirectory, it starts a new supervise process.  If a sub-
       directory is removed, it closes the pipe  to  that  supervise  process.
       Directory  named  supervise  or  with  names starting with a period are
       ignored.

       If multipipe is given a command-line  argument,  it  switches  to  that
       directory when it starts.

       If  multipipe  is  sent either the INT, QUIT, or the TERM signal, or it
       reaches end of file on standard input, it runs svc -dx on each  command
       to shut it down, and waits for it to exit.

RETURN VALUE

       Exits 0 when all the commands are shut down.
