Am I mistaken, or should tail survive this? I've done some google work, and found out that there were some versions of tail that didn't have this problem. For example, Solaris tail works fine with that (that is, it does not quit after first write to pipe, and is capable of outputing further writes). I do believe this is a bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8minolta Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.29-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
