And that's why I mentioned it'd be wise to test :) I know things are never cut 'n dried and it depends on log makeup, datasets and whatnot. There's always dozens of ways to do things and no one way is perfect.
I often "evolve" my commandlines (I commonly use one that's 500+ characters long) and if I don't start with a cat I often wish I did:-/
I can't think of a single instance of needing to 'cat | somethingelse' unless 'somethingelse' doesn't accept STDIN unless explicitly told to. I could obviously be missing some corner case or just be ill educated? :) Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
