9600baud serial connection & especially VT100 terminal sometime behaves very strange and most of the folks find it difficult to work on it. If there is a situation where you need to analyze the run time logs using tail -f log_file_name then it behaves weird sometimes, use below code to view them properly
#while :; do
>tail -5 /var/log/log.log
>sleep 10
>done
This will help you to view logs properly and help you to know when it is over!
I think what you mean is:
ReplyDelete#while :; do
>tail -5 /var/log/log.log
>sleep 10
>done
Its not actually the vt100 terminal type thats the issue. Its the 9600baud serial connection that can't display the data fast enough.
Alex, you are the only UNIX GURU for me! Thanks for correction.
