bash - execute binary directly from curl -

is there bash command execute binary-"stream"? there nice way load , run shell scripts straight internet.

as example:

curl http://j.mp/spf13-vim3 -l -o - | sh

is possible run binaries without saving file, chmod etc. ?

something like:

curl http://example.com/compiled_file | exec_binary

the best can write script indirectly accomplish want, saving info temporary file.

#!/bin/sh # arrange temporary file deleted when script terminates trap 'rm -f "/tmp/exec.$$"' 0 trap 'exit $?' 1 2 3 15 # create temporary file standard input cat >/tmp/exec.$$ # create temporary file executable chmod +x /tmp/exec.$$ # execute temporary file /tmp/exec.$$
