SIGPIPE? How is that relevant? Does tail get a SIGPIPE, when awk
disappears
in my example? If it does not, why do you bring it up?
tail should get a SIGPIPE when it tries to write to a pipeline where
the other end has closed.
And if it does get SIGPIPE, then you are wrong, because the posted
"quick test" shows the exact opposite behavior -- tail does NOT go
away.
Please, clarify... Thanks.
Worked for me. I opened two SSH sessions to a FreeBSD 5.5 system, and
did this in one:
% touch /tmp/logfile
% echo "line 1" >> /tmp/logfile
...and this in the other:
% tail -f /tmp/logfile | awk '{print "Line: " $1 ; exit(0)}END{print
"Bye"}'
...when I then did a:
% echo "line 2" >> /tmp/logfile
...in the first, the tail -f process terminated in the second.
