I use the echo command to output to the terminal while unzipping/untaring
files.
In QNX 4, message appears, the file is unzipped, the next message appears,
the next file is unzipped etc., in nice order.
In QNX 6, nothing happens for sometime, until all files are unzipped, and
then all messages appear together. It seems like they are buffered somehow.
Any way to turn this buffering off?
Thanks
Markus
I should add I’m using grep on top of all this.

Hi
using RTP for long, i haven’t faced such problem… “tar -zxvf blah.tgz” and
“unzip blah.zip” do their work perfectly without any “buffering” effect that you
mentioned…
please post the commandline you are using.
ps. by any chance are you running this command(s) over remote session/telnet/ssh
etc ?

It’s related to using grep. Looks like when tar is busy, grep does not get
much processing time, and the input/output gets buffered.

I changed my program to output a lot of backspace characters to overflow
grep’s buffers and it works fine now
