Package: procps Version: 2:3.3.9-9 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hi,
I often use "watch 'make 2>&1'" to look at compiler errors during development, but as the watch command completely closes the pipe, the compilation process is killed by SIGPIPE as soon as the page is full, which takes the build system by surprise, often leaving an inconsistent state. It'd be great if there was a command line option to silently throw away remaining output rather than close the pipe.
