Dear coreutils maintainer team
It seem you can only exit “tail –f…” sending *CTRL+C*, but that can be an issue if you call it from another process that you want to keep running after tail has exited. Another example is “start daemon; tail -F logfile; stop daemon” as user2394284 commented in this StackExchange <https://askubuntu.com/questions/36785/tail-how-to-quit-tail-and-restore-terminal-window> thread. A good and gentle way to exit could be sending “*q*” just as e.g. “journalctl –b” do. I hope you'll consider my request. And of course, a big thanks for the effort you put into the coreutils :-) Best regards Brian Denmark
