I see... From the link you sent it seems like grep should use some unbuffered output switch. Can you try if adding --line-buffered as option to grep solves the problem? If so I'll update the manpage accordingly. Works for me if I use --line-buffered with grep. > This has already been discussed here: > http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2001/05/msg00003.html I see. So they haven't read the grep manpage. :) So long, and thanks for the hint.
