Package: tmux Version: 2.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I often create new panes just to run a command (so that the pane closes as soon as the command finishes) but I still want to log its output to a file for later investigation when needed. So I use pipe-pane to log it, but the log gets randomly truncated. To illustrate the problem, I checked launching in a new pane running a shell: $ tmux pipe-pane "sleep 1s; wc -l > /tmp/log"; seq 10000; logout and I get some random (and < 10000, obviously) number in log. I expected obviously all the output to be piped to the command. Of course, in such cases that means that tmux has to wait for the command to finish reading. I think it would make more sense to keep the pane open while this happens than closing it as soon as the command ends. [This is probably a bug upstream but I didn’t check.] Best regards -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tmux depends on: ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1 ii libutempter0 1.1.6-3 ii locales 2.24-12 tmux recommends no packages. tmux suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
