tail / grep

[Mike Ballon]

Here's a good one:

tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log | grep -f /etc/Sex.txt > /tmp/busted.txt

The tail part of the command runs, the grep runs (-f read from file) but I can
not get it to output to the /tmp/bustex.txt file to save my life and I can't
figure out why.  Without using the redirection at the end the results of the
grep are displayed on the crt no problem.

What I'm thinking is that the grep -f puts the command in a loop and it never
gets to the > redirect portion, you think?
