Thanks for your hint, but I have the problem, that the program (which is a
binary program) I am running out of my welcome script (which is a bash
script) does not support the usage of stdin and stdout, but it demands the
usage of a device for reading and writing. Is there a trick that I could use
in the welcome script to redirect stdin and stdout to a "device" and use
that device in the program, which is called from the welcome script.
