yes. redirecting. > > it works fine on my laptop, but on the pc i need it to install the > > output in the file is blocked every 10 seconds. > > That sentence didn't parse for me. I am unable to understand it. i have the same setup on a laptop and a desktop ps. while it works on the laptop the redirecting to the textfile hast a too long delay on the desktop pc (same dist, same binaries). meanwhile i found a explanation at http://osdir.com/ml/linux.suse.programming-e/2005-08/msg00030.html i changed the main program (that one with the output) so that it writes direct into a textfile instead to stdout and this solves my problem. but i still don't know if it's possible and how i can modify the output buffer to stdout. thanx & bye...masc. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
