The "tail -f" waits for more output from dmesg, but dmesg won't produce any more output. dmesg is supposed to print the contents of the kernel buffer; it does exactly that and then ends. It also doesn't have an option like -f to tell it to "keep printing" ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
