I need to continuously compress inputs that arrive from time to time
into one stream.
My idea was to create a named pipe, set a gzip reading from it, and then
Writing to it using cat, tee -a etc.
Basically like that:
mknod P p
gzip - < P > p.gz &
while something
do
do-something | tee -a P
done
It does not work, since the gzip quits after first write to the pipe. I
guess it sees the write EOF.
I'm sure I'm missing something. If you have an idea, let me know.
