I am in a similar situation as in this post But I couln't get the solution provided there to work in my situation as the answer seems related to that question only.

In particular, I couldnt understand what was the purpose of

cat my.fifo | nc remotehost.tld 10000

In my case, I have a process running and waiting for input. how can I send input to that process using named pipes?

I've tried echo 'h' > /proc/PID/fd/0 it just displays 'h' on the process' window.
