You would need to get a message back to tell you it is done. Drip feeding was used on old CNC controls with very limited memory. LinuxCNC has all of virtual memory to store code as it comes in, so it won't really work like drip feeding, the interpreter will suck up all the code it can and read ahead. I believe there is a mechanism where G-code can be sent via NFS or other method and then LinuxCNC can be ordered to execute it via emcrsh.
