I have a /bin/csh script which CRPs onto another node to run a program
which is only licensed for that node. If I type ahead of the display
manager input window, the typeahead is somehow thrown away. This is
painful as I'd like to stack a bunch of calls to this script to be
executed one after the other (they take a while to run).
The problem is that the current version of "crp" reads any input as
it is entered and sends it to the remote process regardless of whether
that process has actually asked to read anything from standard input.
This is at best a nuisance (it makes for a disorderly transcript) and
at worst a bug (for cases like yours).
Odds are quite high that this will be fixed in a future release. For now,
it should work if you simply redirect the standard input of crp to
"/dev/null". E.g.:
crp "/com/converter -args" -on //node -me -cp -nwp -n progname </dev/null
