Could you describe what goes wrong?

Another approach you could try is pushing the input into twidge viastdin, e.g.


#!/bin/sh
# completely untested
echo $@ | twidge update

You might also want to be using $* (acts as a single item) rather than$@ (acts as N items, see "man bash", section "Special parameters"), butI'm not quite sure of your use case.


Cheers,

Mike.
