[kepler-users] Command line EOF

I'm trying to setup a shell script to wrap around programs for access  
in Kepler.  My current method is to pass the string to be processed  
to the "Command Line Exec" actor's inputStream port.  Then inside the  
script I have a "cat - > /tmp/$$.txt' to capture the STDIN to a tmp  
file.  This works, in that it creates the files, but it stalls  
kepler.  It seems that the programs are waiting for a EOF (control +  
d) before 'cat' will quit.
Is there a better way to handle this sort of thing?
