New Strange.
It works right under Linux. Maybe you need to see if tail and/or grep and/or cut have unbuffered modes.

New Now there's a term I often apply to Tru64 :)
The man pages mention nothing of the sort. Think I'll do some more investigation on what is (mercifully) a slightly slow afternoon.

New Yup, it's because of buffering.

Anyway, once I pumped enough pretend data in my somefile, it eventually spewed out a bunch of output. Which is exactly not how I wanted to do it. Oh well, I didn't *really* need this to work anyway.

Tru64 is not my friend.

New Could you make that a real link? It's forcing right scroll.
