Dear GNU folks, This is just a wishlist item of mine that I thought I would pass on for your consideration. It would be nice if tee had an option like --immediate that would flush its output immediately instead of writing it in large chunks (8k, I think).
The reason is that I sometimes like to use tee to save the output of slow numerical computations, while still viewing the output in the terminal to monitor the progress. This doesn't work very well, though, because the of tee's buffering--I may not get any output at all until the program finishes. In other words, it would be nice if tee's output could come at (at least) the same rate as the output of the program without tee. Thanks for your consideration, Cordially, Steven G. Johnson PS. I would happily supply a patch if you think the feature is desirable but you don't have time to implement it. _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
