I ran into some odd behavior which if I remember right I didn't see before RH8. From an X terminal like xterm, konsole, or gnome-terminal, if I use a command that prints text w/out a newline I won't see the resulting text. The following do not work: > echo -n "test" > perl -e 'print "test"' But if there's a newline printed it works: > echo "test" > echo -n "test"; echo > perl -e 'print "test\n"' The odd thing is that if I get out of X and do this from a virtual console I don't see the problem. Also, if I su like such: > su -l $USER and try it I don't see the problem either. I'm pretty befuddled by this--can anyone provide some ideas on a fix? --Ade. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
