I noticed xargs output a warning about SIGPIPE $ yes 1234 | xargs -n1 | head -n1 1234 xargs: /bin/echo: terminated by signal 13
That's not normally the case on the shell: $ yes 1234 | head -n1 1234 Nor in other process management utils: $ timeout 1 yes 1234 | head -n1 1234 Could we supress that warning? At least for SIGPIPE? cheers, Pádraig.
