Package: beep
Version: 1.2.2-15
Severity: minor

Hi,
 my beep man-page has this paragraph:

,----
| As part of a log-watching pipeline
| 
|  tail -f /var/log/xferlog | grep 'passwd' | beep -f 1000 -r 5 -s
`----

However that does not work until I remove the -f from the tail command (but
this is pointless because then you aren't watching the file any longer) or
if I remove the grep (which is probably also no solution in most cases).

To show that it is no beep problem check that

,----
| tail -f /var/log/xferlog | grep passwd
`----

will output something, this won't:

,----
| tail -f /var/log/xferlog | grep passwd | grep passwd
`----

So beep will not receive anything (or at least not immediately)

This has already been discussed here:

regards
 Thorsten
