Hi, I want to use tail and grep to follow a file until a particular pattern appears. But tail does not exit when grep is finished.
$ echo xxx > /tmp/blabla $ tail -f /tmp/blabla |grep -m1 --line-buffered "xxx" xxx Now tail still tries to read and exits only if I write again into /tmp/blabla. Is this how it's supposed to be? cu, Rudi
